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.

评分大概十年前,在一本纽约书评文选里看到布罗茨基撰写的《曼德施塔姆夫人回忆录》书评,文章和布罗茨基其他作品一样精彩,尤其是结尾给我留下很深印象,布罗茨基这样描述1972年5月30日在娜•雅•曼德施塔姆莫斯科住宅里的厨房看到她时的情景:“当时已是傍晚,橱柜在墙壁上...
