Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova stood at the pinnacle of twentiethcentury Russian literature and their works continue to stand as monuments of literary achievement yet they also suffered brutally under Stalins regime martyrs to its paranoia and its suppression of free thought In the early 1960s Akhmatova encouraged Emma Gerstein to record her memories of Mandelstam but Gersteins vivid and uncompromising account was not at all what she had expected When first published in Moscow in 1998 her memoirs provoked a wide array of responses from condemnation to rapturous praise A shrewd observer and serious literary specialist in her own right Gerstein was uniquely qualified to remove both poets from their pedestals and to bring the extraordinary atmosphere of the Soviet 1930s back to life Part biography part autobiography this book radically alters our view of Russias two greatest twentiethcentury poets and provides memorable vignettes of numerous other figures Boris Pasternak among them from that partly forgotten and misunderstood world Gersteins integrity and perceptive comments make her account compulsively readable and enable us to reexamine that extraordinary epoch

This comprehensive biography of the legendary Russian poet a rich narrative of the dramatic life behind the extraordinary work draws on a wealth of new material including memoirs letters and journals and interviews with Akhmatovas surviving friends and familyAnna Akhmatova began writing in the years before World War I a time when according to Akhmatova herself to think of a woman as a poet was absurd Her genius would rise above categorization but this superb biography makes clear how heavily she paid for the political and personal passions that informed it A fierce poise forged by Annas lonely childhood carried her through her fathers resistance to her writing which prompted her to change her name from Gorenko to Akhmatova a name taken from a Tartar ancestor and her flawed but passionate love affairs We see Akhmatovas work banned from 1925 until 1940 and banned again following World War II when the Union of Soviet Writers labeled her half nun half harlot We see her steadfast resistance to Stalin during her hopeful but unsuccessful attempt to win her sons release from prison We see her abiding loyalty to such friends as Mandelstam Shostakovich and Pasternak as they faced Stalinist oppression And we see how through everything Akhmatova continued to write her poetry giving voice to the Russian people by whom she was and still is deeply loved Anna of All the Russias takes us into the days and nights of an icon It is a revelation of both the artist and the woman
