Anna Akhmatova belonged to the quartet of great twentieth–
century Russian poets that included Mandelstam, Pasternak
and Tsvetaeva. This is the first collection in English of her
remarkable prose, including autobiographical essays and frag–
ments, which powerfully evoke the atmosphere in which she
developed as a woman poet in the 1910s; her memoirs of fa–
mous friends-Mandelstam, Modigliani, Blok, Gumilyov,
Pasternak, Tsvetaeva, and more.
