Akhmatova Anna Poems
From her appearance in a small magazine in 1906 to her death in 1965, Anna Akhmatova was a dominant presence in Russian literary life. But this friend of Pasternak and Mandelstam was a poet in a country where poetry was literally a matter of life and death, as she found when Mandelstam and her own husband, Gumilyev, were executed, and her son imprisoned for many years in the Gulag. Akhmatova's first collection, Evening, appeared in 1912. Rosary (1914) made her a household name. After the Revolution she went in and out of favour with the authorities, who sometimes allowed her to publish, sometimes banned her work. She is now most celebrated in the West for Poem Without A Hero and Requiem, a sequencemourning the victims of Stalin's Terror which was only published (and then outside Russia) in 1963.

Akhmatova Anna Selected Poems
Tragedy did not wither her: it crowned her with majesty... Her life, in Keats's phrase, became 'a continual allegory', its strands interwoven with the story of a people. Indeed, her poems can be read in sequence as a 20th-century Russian chronicle.

Brodsky Joseph Selected Poems. 1968-1996
'Brodsky charged at the world... there is no voice, no vision, remotely like it' The New York Times Book Review Self-educated, intense, impulsive and unmoored, Joseph Brodsky emerged in mid-century Russia as a poetic virtuoso, recognized by such greats as Anna Akhmatova as their worthy heir. He was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1972. Together, the poems in this volume unfold the project that, as Brodsky saw it, the condition of exile presented: 'to set the next man - however theoretical he and his needs may be - a bit more free.' This edition includes poems translated by Derek Walcott, Richard Wilbur and Anthony Hecht, and poems written in English or translated by the author himself. It surveys Brodsky's tumultuous life and illustrious career, and showcases his most notable and poignant work as a poet. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature

Feinstein Elaine Anna of All the Russias. A Life of Anna Akhmatova
Life of the Russian poet who withstood Stalinism and became an inspiration to millions. Anna Akhmatova is recognised as one of the greatest poets of Russian literature, an iconic figure who gave voice to the suffering of the Russian people during the brutal years of Stalin's Terror. Akhmatova began writing at a time when 'to think of a woman as a poet was absurd' but her genius soared above any such category. Hailed as a great beauty, she married three times yet her personal life was shot through with tragedy and her only son and third husband were held captive in the Gulags. Through illness, poverty and repression she maintained her resistance to the regime, with a dignity and composure that led her to be dubbed 'Anna of all the Russias'.

Akhmatova Anna Requiem. Poeme sans heros et autres poemes
Anna Akhmatova publie son premier recueil en 1912 et s'impose tres tot comme une virtuose de la petite forme lyrique. Classee comme " acmeiste " ou " intimiste ", elle est plus authentiquement quelqu'un qui cultive un style simple, rigoureux, d'un classicisme qui l'apparente a Pouchkine, meme si chez elle toute idee d'imitation est exclue. Apres la revolution d'Octobre, elle refuse d'emigrer, quoique suspecte aux autorites nouvelles qui vont, peu a peu, l'interdire de publication. En 1940, cette interdiction est momentanement levee et Anna Akhmatova publie plusieurs poemes sur la guerre, mais non les textes qui lui tiennent le plus a c?ur, comme Requiem ou les suites de poemes brefs qui evoquent les arrestations massives et le goulag. A nouveau condamnee au silence des la fin de la guerre, elle continue de composer pour elle-meme des textes plus amples comme les " Elegies du Nord ", et toujours des suites de textes brefs. Elle n'obtiendra jamais l'autorisation de donner au public un " septieme livre " qui reunirait ses ecrits recents et prendrait la suite des six recueils publies dans sa jeunesse. Cette anthologie aborde l'?uvre dans son entier. Elle puise dans les premiers livres, donne in extenso Requiem et le Poeme sans heros, puis reprend a son compte un plan ebauche par la poetesse pour son fantomatique " Septieme livre ". C'est tout le parcours d'Anna Akhmatova qui est ici restitue, c'est un demi-siecle de combat solitaire, acharne, douloureux, mais au final sans faiblesse, qui se revele page a page. Une poesie fragile et souveraine qui, confrontee aux risques les plus grands, ne renonce jamais, et celebre avec une rare intensite les pouvoirs d'une parole irreductible.
