This publication offers the reader a unique opportunity to become familiar with Tsvetaeva's creative workshop. The main part of the book is a full-text transcript of the previously unpublished Czech notebook of M. I. Tsvetaeva (autumn 1922-spring 1923), which presents a wide variety of material: unpublished rough and final versions of individual poems and the poem cycles "Sibyl", "Trees", "Factory", "God", "Scythian", "Phaedra", "Wires", "Poets" and others, mainly included in Tsvetaeva's last book of poems "After Russia" (1928), diary and essay entries, drafts of personal letters to B. L. Pasternak and literary critic A. V. Bakhrakh. The appendices contain rough and final versions of all the poems included in the notebook, and other creative materials. The analytical articles and commentaries tell about the phenomenon of the poet's creative notebook, its textual features and Tsvetaeva's creative contexts contained in it.
