ANNO DOMINI MCMXXI
Η ποιητική συλλογή Anno Domini είναι η πεμπτουσία της τραγωδίας που έζησε η Άννα Αχμάτοβα και ολόκληρη η γενιά της. Η πείνα και ο θάνατος, οι απώλειες και οι ρημαγμένες ζωές, μια χθαμαλή καθημερινότητα και η αγωνία για το αύριο είναι ο καμβάς πάνω στον οποίο αποτυπώνει η ποιήτρια τα δεινά των συνανθρώπων της. Η Άννα Αχμάτοβα όχι μόνο συνομιλεί με την εποχή και τους συγκαιρινούς, μα αφουγκράζεται την ανάσα των δασών, ατενίζει τους αστερισμούς και νιώθει την ευλογία του να είναι κανείς ζωντανός. Η ποιητική συλλογή αποτελείται από τρία μέρη. ...

THE MOSCOW AND VORONEZH NOTEBOOKS
Mandelstam was one of the greatest poets of the 20th Century. The Moscow Notebooks contain poems from his years of persecution. Exiled for his poem on Stalin's 'cockroach moustache', he wrote the 90 poems in the Voronezh notebooks in a last, late flowering. This new edition brings together translations originally published in separate books. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) THE FACE BEHIND THE FACE

(P/B) MOSCOW IN THE PLAGUE YEAR
Representing some of Tsvetaeva's most remarkable work, this collection of poems, written during the years of the Moscow famine and the Russian Revolution of 1917, is suffused with biting irony and vibrant imagery. Frequently invoking images of resistance, Tsvetaeva approaches female resilience with sustained strength and an infectious sense of humor. "For a woman," she observes, "God is the equivalent of an aging husband." Deeply admired by Rainer Maria Rilke and Vladimir Nabokov, Tsvetaeva is widely considered one of the most important po...

(P/B) PHAEDRA
Marina Tsvetaeva's verse drama Phaedra is perhaps the most extraordinary of all literary treatments of the Phaedra legend. It is primarily about female passion, and its most powerful figures are the female ones. Dangerously high voltage runs through all of them - Phaedra herself; her Nurse from childhood; and even the offstage Antiope, Amazon queen and mother of the young hunter Hippolytus (son of Phaedra's husband Theseus) with whom Phaedra falls in love and who represents a powerful counterforce of chastity. Phaedra, completed in 1927, i...

BRIDE OF ICE
When Elaine Feinstein first read the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva in Russian in the 1960s, the encounter transformed her. 'What drew me to her initially,' she writes, 'was the intensity of her emotions, and the honesty with which she exposed them.' Her translations, first published to great acclaim in 1971, introduced Tsvetaeva to English readers. It was the start of Feinstein's continuing engagement with a poet who has been an enduring, challenging inspiration to her, and whose life she has written. To this enlarged edition Elaine Feinstein ...

(P/B) MY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
Touring the United States in 1925, the Russian Futurist poet and propagandist Vladimir Mayakovsky observed at first hand what he considered to be the model for Soviet technological development. Writing in his typical declamatory style, he found much to celebrate in the modernised, industrialised America of the 1920s - creativity and advancement, a 'primitive futurism'. But he also decried the social injustices of uncaring capitalism, losing no opportunity to propound his own political beliefs. Presented here in full for the first time in ...

(P/B) SECOND NATURE
The life of Boris Pasternak culminated in the publication of his successful novel Doctor Zhivago, and his being awarded the 1958 Nobel Prize for Literature, an award he did not accept. In this collected volume of Pasternak's poetry Andrei Navrozov seeks to transport the English-language reader into the Russian poet's mysterious lyric universe. Both inventive and exact, the poems in Second Nature are inspired by life and scenery from the natural world. Unavailable for some time, Second Nature has been acclaimed by leading Pasternak scholars...

(P/B) ALMOST AT THE END
The centre of this collection is 'Fuku', a compelling mixture of poem, essay, memoir and polemic, containing long references to such hitherto forbidden topics as Soviet neo-Nazis, anti-semitism, the exercise of freedom of thought and the Gulags of Kolyma. Its publication in the Soviet Union was tangible evidence of Gorbachev's policy of glasnost. Yevtushenko also examines himself, his feelings, his family, his childhood, as well as continuing the war against injustice and oppression. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) SELECTED POEMS
During the Stalin years Russia had four great poets to voice the feelings of her oppressed people: Pasternak, Akhmatova, Mandelstam and Marina Tsvetayeva.

ΡΩΣΟΙ ΠΟΙΗΤΕΣ ΤΟΥ 20ΟΥ ΑΙΩΝΑ (ΔΙΓΛΩΣΣΗ ΕΚΔΟΣΗ)
Τη ρωσική ποίηση του εικοστού αιώνα δεν μπορείς να τη δεις ξέχωρα ούτε από τα ιστορικά γεγονότα που σημάδεψαν την πορεία της χώρας αλλά και τις τύχες των ποιητών της, ούτε από τις πολιτικές και κοινωνικές ανατροπές που αυτά προκάλεσαν. Η παρούσα ανθολογία, μια πρωτότυπη δίγλωσση έκδοση, επιδιώκει να φέρει τους Έλληνες αναγνώστες σε επαφή με το έργο των αντιπροσωπευτικότερων εκπροσώπων της ρωσικής ποίησης του προηγούμενου αιώνα, προσφέροντας μια πλήρη εικόνα των ιστορικών και πολιτικών συνθηκών και των λογοτεχνικών ζυμώσεων μέσα στις οποίες...

ΒΛΑΝΤΙΜΙΡ ΜΑΓΙΑΚΟΦΣΚΙ
(...) Ο Μαγιακόφσκι στάθηκε ο ποιητικός έφηβος της μεγαλύτερης και τολμηρότερης επανάστασης του 20ου αιώνα, σε κείνη την εκρηκτική της αδιαλλαξία και σπιθόβολη λάμψη γυμνωμένου σπαθιού. (...) Ο Μαγιακόφσκι, όχι γιατί ήταν φουτουριστής, αλλά γιατί είχε την κράση και τα φτερά τα δικά του, πετούσε μπροστά απ΄ την εποχή του, μπροστά απ’ το χρόνο. Και αυτό, πρώτα απ' όλα, διαπερνά ολόκληρη την ποιητική του. Ασύλληπτο μοιάζει και κάθε συνταίριασμα του ονόματός του με το θάνατο. Γιατί κανείς άλλος ποιητής του 20ου αιώνα (κάτι ανάλογο θα μπορούσε ...
