A grim picture of Russian literary life under Stalin is described in this book about the life of the great Russian poet Osip Mandelstam written by his wife Nadezhda. It describes his imprisonment and death in a labour camp, and is the first part of a two-volume autobiography.
Nadezhda Yakovlevna Mandelstam was born in Saratov in 1899, but spent her early life in Kiev, studying art and travelling widely in Western Europe. She learned English, French and German fluently enough to undertake extensive translation work, which supported her in the hard years ahead. She met the poet Osip Mandelstam in Kiev in 1919, and they married in 1922. From then until Osip's death, her life was so inextricably linked with her husband's that without her extraordinary courage and fortitude most of his work would have died with him. She spent the Second World War in Tashkent, teaching English and sharing a house with her close friend the poet Anna Akhmatova. After the war she led an inconspicuous existence as a teacher of English in remote provincial towns. In 1964 she was granted permission to return to Moscow, where she began to write her memoir of the life she had shared with one of the greatest Russian poets of the twentieth century, and where she continued to preserve his works and his memory in the face of official disapproval. Nadezhda means 'hope' in Russian, and she herself chose the English titles for her two-volume memoirs. She died in 1980.

西伯利亚情歌 那些云沉得那么低,像要睡在海的眼皮上 像是太平洋的一串迷梦,她梦见了黑海。 荒芜的岛屿像是沃罗涅日, 阳光摸索着我左肩的骨头像我弃妻的手。 他们突然交出了所有的珠宝,这些云沉得那么低, 他们突然从袖口掏出了上个世纪的雪橇。 他们请求我躺在上面, ...
评分回忆往事,曼德尔斯塔姆夫人并未陷入情感的两极分化之中,如同我们在大多数回忆录中所看到的——或是脱离现实的美化或是义正言辞的控诉。曼德尔斯塔姆夫人的这本《回忆录》远离了读者对一本回忆录的期待,同时这种期待在阅读过程中不断被超越。 这主要表现在以下几方面: ①...
评分书中摘记,记录下诗句的创造过程,积郁,痛苦与伟大的诞生, 引文如下: 我认为,对于诗人而言,幻听症是某种职业病。诗句是这样产生的它起初是诗人身中一个挥之不去的无形乐句,然后形式才逐渐确定下来,但仍无字词。 他摇晃着脑袋,似乎想把那曲调甩出来,就像甩出游泳时灌进...
