Synopsis

Book by Anna Akhmatova

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

We needn't worry again about how to read Akhmatova in translation... the translations are remarkable. Reading this enormous, impeccable book, we watch her work achieve the supreme goal of lyric poetry: to transfigure loss without belittling it, commemorate love without cooling it, and embody the truth of disparate lives in a single self. (Andrew Motion The Observer)

Hemschemeyer's versions are the best I have ever seen. This great lilac brick of a book is a stupendous bargain. (Michael Hoffman The Times)

This edition is an enormous achievement . . . usefully annotated and well illustrated. The text is the definitive English-language edition of Akhmatova . . . a ground-breaking work. (Elizabeth Burns The Scotsman)

A fitting tribute to one of the greatest poets of the century... this is a volume to be treasured. (The Good Book Guide)

This is one of the most important publications of the year, if not the decade. (Adam Thorpe Literary Review) --Adam Thorpe - Literary Review
