More about the book

The memoir offers a poignant eyewitness account of life under Stalin's regime, focusing on the experiences of Nadezhda Mandelstam as she supports her husband, poet Osip Mandelstam, after his arrest for a satirical poem about Stalin. It details their struggles during his exile and subsequent death in a gulag, highlighting Nadezhda's efforts to preserve his literary legacy. Intertwining themes of love and resilience, the narrative serves as both a testament to the power of literature and a deeply moving love story amidst the horrors of political oppression.
