Noise of Time

«To exist is the highest self-love of the artist. He does not want another paradise but being», — wrote Osip Mandelstam. The great poet, who changed the very structure of the Russian language, managed like no one else to feel... the air of a cruel era, that «wolfhound century» that led the poet to death at a transit point of Dalstroy in Vladivostok. But before the Stalinist repressions, there was the Silver Age and Petersburg, World War I, and the revolution: the «noise of time», which took your breath away... The mastery of Osip Mandelstam is the art of a master, organically connected to the word, a harsh and strict craftsman.
The book includes selected poems by Osip Mandelstam, prose, and articles by the master, who called to «prove your point so that in response the entire chain of causes and effects from alpha to omega shudders».
