Boris Leonidovich Pasternak

Rainer Maria Rilke

Marina T︠S︡vetaeva

Edited by Yevgeny Pasternak, Yelena Pasternak, and Konstantin M. Azadovsky The summer of 1926 was a time of trouble and uncertainty for each of the three poets whose correspondence is collected in this moving volume. Marina Tsvetayeva was living in exile in France and struggling to get by. Boris Pasternak was in Moscow, trying to come to terms with the new Bolshevik regime. Rainer Maria Rilke, in Switzerland, was dying. Though hardly known to each other, they began to correspond, exchanging a series of searching letters in which every aspect of life and work is discussed with extraordinary intensity and passion. Letters: Summer 1926 takes the reader into the hearts and minds of three of the twentieth century's greatest poets at a moment of maximum emotional and creative pressure.

Selected Poems

Marina Tsvetaeva is acknowledged today as one of the twentieth century's greatest poets, a masterful innovator who produced a remarkable body of work before her untimely death in 1941. This bilingual collection contains six of her acclaimed narrative poems, as well as a selection of lyrics, most translated into English for the first time. Tsvetaeva always regarded the narrative poem as her true challenge, and she created powerful and intensely original works in the genre. They can be seen as markers of various stages in her poetic development, ranging from the early, folk-accented "On a Red Steed" to the lyrical-confessional "Poem of the Mountain" and "Poem of the End" to the more metaphysical later poems, "An Attempt at a Room," a beautiful requiem for Rainer Maria Rilke, "New Year's Greetings," and "Poem of the Air," a stirring celebration of Lindbergh's transatlantic flight and the quest for the soul's freedom.

Хроника противостояния

During the Stalin years Russia had four great poets to voice the feelings of her oppressed people: Pasternak, Akhmatova, Mandelstam and Marina Tsvetayeva. The first two survived the terror, but Mandelstam died in a camp and Tsvetayeva was driven to hang herself in 1941. This comprehensive selection of Tsvetayeva's poetry includes complete versions of all her major long poems and poem cycles: Poem of the End, An Attempt at a Room, Poems to Czechia and New Year Letter. It was the first English translation to use the new, definitive Russica text of her work. It also includes additional versions ascribed to F.F. Morton which first appeared in The New Yorker: these rhyming translations are actually the work of Joseph Brodsky (who lived at 44 Morton Street in New York).

Selected Poems of Marina Tsvetayeva

" C'est le seul point faillible, le seul point attaquable, la seule brèche dans cette entité parfaite que sont deux femmes qui s'aiment. L'impossible, ce n'est pas de résister à la tentation de l'homme, mais au besoin de l'enfant. " Ce texte de Marina Tsvétaïéva (1892-1941) sur l'amour des femmes entre elles est adressé à Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972) en réponse à ses Pensées d'une amazone (1918). Avec son génie libre, sa faculté poétique éclatante, sa langue française d'une sublime beauté, Mon frère féminin est l'un des plus beaux textes lesbiens à ce jour. Marina Tsvétaïéva analyse en profondeur l'amour féminin et s'attache, en particulier, à définir les manques et les inquiétudes de deux femmes qui s'aiment sans qu'il leur soit possible d'avoir un enfant. Transcendant son propos, Marina Tsvétaïéva nous offre des pages inoubliables sur la femme, l'homme, l'amour et la vie.
