Essayist and poet Joseph Brodsky was one of the most penetrating
voices of the twentieth century. This prize-winning collection of
his diverse essays includes uniquely powerful appreciations of
great writers: on Dostoevsky and the development of Russian prose,
on Auden and Akhmatova, Cavafy, Montale and Mandelstam. These are
contrasted with his reflections on larger themes of tyranny and
evil, and subtle evocations of his childhood in Leningrad.
Brodsky's insightful appreciation of the intricacies of language,
culture and identity connect these works, revealing his remarkable
gifts as a prose writer.
