This book, first published in 1981, examines the dramatic and
tragic stories of four of the greatest Russian poets of the
twentieth century, their struggle to survive the Stalin years, and
their dedication to their art despite considerable personal danger.
Interweaving the stories of Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, Boris
Pasternak and Marina Tsvetayeva, the noted Russian scholar Ronald
Hingley traces their education, the literary schools and traditions
with which they were associated, the impact of World War I and the
Bolshevik Revolution on their work, and the emergence of their
distinct and disparate styles. He examines how the four influenced
and affected each other - as colleague, critic or rival, friend or
lover - and, as their fates were increasingly caught up in the
aftermath of the Russian Revolution, how they came to depend on
each other for solace and refuge. This book makes vivid the
historic conflict between artists and political authority, and
shows how they came into conflict with the Stalinist totalitarian
regime intent on their destruction. Ronald Hingley's brilliant
narrative and superb translations of many of the major poems give
us a haunting story of artistic achievement and heroic resistance.
