Описание: In the early 1960s, Anna Akhmatova encouraged Emma Gerstein to record her own memoirs of the reknown Russian poet, Osip Mandelstam. But Gerstein's vivid and uncompromising account was not at all what she had expected. When first published in Moscow in 1998, Gerstein's memoirs provoked responses from condemnation to rapturous praise amongst Russian readers. A shrewd observer, a close member of the Mandelstam and Akhmatova family circles, and a serious literary specialist in her own right, Gerstein is uniquely qualified to remove both poets from their pedestals without diminishing them, or their work, and to bring back to life the Soviet 1930s. This title, part biography and part autobiography, alters our view of Russia's two greatest 20th-century poets, providing memorable glimpses of numerous other figures, and offers several vignettes of Boris Pasternak.
