An extensive sampling of the whole of Mandelstam's career from his first collection up to the late poems that were memorised by his wife, when it was too dangerous to have them written down. One of the great poets of the first half of the 20th century, Mandelstam is one of the figures who needs to be translated and re-translated, being too important to be taken for granted.

Poesi inom Skönlitteratur

Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938) was a Russian poet and essayist. He was the husband of Nadezhda Mandelstam and a leading member of the Acmeist school of poets. He was arrested by Joseph Stalin's government during the repression of the 1930s and sent into internal exile with his wife Nadezhda. Given a kind of reprieve, they moved to Voronezh in southwestern Russia for a more comfortable exile. In 1938 Mandelstam was arrested again and sentenced to a Siberian labour camp. He died that year at a transit camp.
