The personal and political life of the iconic Russian poet Osip Mandelstam is graphically portrayed in this lavishly illustrated book  Meer

Tweetalige uitgave Nederlands | Russisch Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938) had een zeer grote kennis van de Europese cultuur en literatuur. Gesprek over Dante (1933), geschreven in een tijd dat de Sovjetliteratuur met haar socialistisch realisme bijna verstard was, is een sprankelend essay over de Divina Commedia van de grote Italiaanse dichter - met wie Mandelstam zich verwant voelde - en de bijzondere kracht van de poëzie in het algemeen.  Meer

This edition combines two previous separate editions of The Moscow Notebooks and The Voronezh Notebooks published by Bloodaxe. The Moscow Notebooks cover his years of persecution (1930-34), when he was arrested for writing an unflattering poem about Stalin.  Meer

Features poems about tennis and ice-cream and silent movies, poems that seem to jump into being on impulse. A blend of classical serenity and brash iconoclasm, this title is based on the most complete edition of 1928, was published, alongside "The Collected Critical Prose and Letters", to mark Mandelstam's centenary in 1991.  Meer

The introduction and translated poems of Mandelstam within are the gold-standard for critics and readers who don’t know Russian. They expertly illuminate other Mandelstam translations, not replacing them, but rather allowing for a better understanding of what they specifically contribute.  Meer
