"We love each other not for the happiness of love." N.M. and E.A. Karamzins
Can a person be happy on earth? Karamzin addressed this issue in his poetry, prose, journalism, letters. After expe-riencing profound distress in the family life, the writer did not lose the ability to love - “not for happiness", but because he couldn't do otherwise. Fragments of correspondence between N.M. Karamzin and E.A. Karamzina are published for the first time.
