Description
Osip Mandelstam's Selected Poems and Prose is a treasure trove of lyrical beauty and innovative poetry. Written during his exile in Voronezh, Russia, Mandelstam's work took on a unique character, marked by high velocity and exposed nerves. This collection brings together poems from across his tragically short life, including early symbolist works and haunting elegies. Mandelstam's prose adds warmth and insight to the poetry, as he reflects on his childhood in Petersburg, his Jewish heritage, and the importance of poetry in society. Peter France's translations bring Mandelstam's work to life, capturing the poet's unique voice and vision. With 148 pages of beautifully crafted poetry and prose, this collection is a must-have for anyone interested in modern Russian literature.
