    Hardcover. Etat : As New. First Edition. 679pp. Foreword by Clarence Brown, appendix: index words in order of frequency. Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938), Russian poet, born into the family of a Jewish leather merchant in Warsaw and brought up in St. Petersburg. He spent most of 1907-10 in Western Europe, particularly Paris, and then studied at St. Petersburg University. His first poems appeared in 1910. In 1911 he joined the Acmeist Guild of Poets with Akhmatova and Gumilev, and the poems of his first collection, Stone (1913), are marked by Acmeist brevity and clarity. He met Nadezhda Yakovlevna Khazina in Kiev in 1919 and married her in 1922. His second collection, Tristia (1922), confirmed his status while considerably widening his range. During the 1920s Mandelstam came under increasing attack for being out of step with the new Soviet age, and his ruminations on the subject produced such important poems as The Age and The Slate Ode. His third volume, Poems, and collections of prose and criticism appeared in 1928. In 1930 he made a long visit to Armenia from which emerged The Journey to Armenia, a major prose piece (translated by Clarence Brown , 1980), his last work to be published in the Soviet Union for 30 years. His first arrest, in 1934, resulted from his recitation of his famous poem denouncing Stalin. Prison was followed by internal exile and attempted suicide. In exile he wrote his important late poetry the Voronezh Notebooks. Arrested again in 1938, he was sentenced to five years hard labor and died of a heart attack on the way to the camps (the exact date of his death has not been established). His collected works have only been published abroad, though an edition of his poetry appeared in Leningrad in 1973. The two volumes of memoirs by Nadezhda Mandelstam, Hope Against Hope (1971) and Hope Abandoned (1974), are not only the main source of information on the poet but also a powerful and harrowing description of the experiences of twentieth-century totalitarianism. Mandelstam's reputation still continues to grow, and he is now regarded as one of the major poets of the 20th century. He has been widely translated into English, notable by Clarence Brown and W. S. Merwin, and by David McDuff. Beware :Our postage prices are often quite lower than suggested by abebooks automatic generated prices.
