Synopsis

Осип Мандельштам (1891–1938) — одна из ключевых фигур русской культуры XX века, ее совершенно особый и самобытный поэтический голос. «В ремесле словесном я ценю только дикое мясо, только сумасшедший нарост», — так определял Мандельштам особенность своей прозы с ее афористичной, лаконичной, плотной языковой тканью.

About the Author

Osip Emilyevich Mandelstam (January 15 [O.S. January 3] 1891 - December 27, 1938) was a Russian poet and essayist who lived in Russia during and after its revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union. 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 reprieve of sorts, they moved to Voronezh in southwestern Russia. In 1938 Mandelstam was arrested again and sentenced to a camp in Siberia. He died that year at a transit camp.
