Description

The life and legacy of Osip Mandelstam are revealed in this poignant memoir by his wife Nadezhda Mandelstam. Hope Abandoned complements her earlier work, Hope Against Hope, which chronicled the last four years of Mandelstam's life under Stalin's terror. In this book, Nadezhda Mandelstam recounts their life together from 1919, and her own experiences after his death in a labour camp in 1938. She also sheds light on Mandelstam's system of values and beliefs, and provides insightful portraits of notable contemporaries such as Boris Pasternak and Nikolai Bukharin. A candid and thought-provoking account, Hope Abandoned offers a unique perspective on the life and work of one of Russia's most celebrated poets.
