Event

"After his first arrest in 1934 for writing an anti-Stalinist poem, Mandelstam made a half-hearted attempt to adapt to circumstances, but was subsequently banished from Moscow. Redeemed by the pleadings of Pasternak, he was again imprisoned and finally died during the Great Purge of 1937-38. His widow's memoir gives the first authentic account of the tragic confrontation between the poet and the dictator which has long been a legend in Moscow literary circles. At the same time, she provides an unparalleled wealth of information about the dismal effects of political terror on Russian intellectuals during the dark 1920' and 30's"--publisher
