Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gumilev holds a unique position in the history of Russian poetry as a result of his profound involvement with Africa. He extensively wrote both poetry and prose on the culture of the continent in general and on Ethiopia (Abyssinia, as it was called in Gumilev’s time) in particular. During his abbreviated lifetime Gumilev made four trips to Northern and Eastern Africa, the most extensive of which was a 1913 expedition to Abyssinia undertaken on assignment from the St. Petersburg Imperial Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography. During that trip Gumilev collected Ethiopian folklore and ethnographic objects, which, upon his return to St. Petersburg, he deposited at the Museum. He and his assistant Nikolai Sverchkov also made more than 200 photographs that offer a unique picture of the African country in the early part of the century. This volume collects all of Gumilev’s poetry and prose written about Africa for the first time as well as a number of the photographs that he and Nikolai Sverchkov took during their trip that give a fascinating view of that part of the world in the early twentieth century. Translated by Slava I. Yastremski, Michael M. Naydan, and Maria Badanova.

Download or read book The Word that Causes Death's Defeat written by Anna Andreevna Akhmatova and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966), one of twentieth-century Russia’s greatest poets, was viewed as a dangerous element by post-Revolution authorities. One of the few unrepentant poets to survive the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges, she set for herself the artistic task of preserving the memory of pre-Revolutionary cultural heritage and of those who had been silenced. This book presents Nancy K. Anderson’s superb translations of three of Akhmatova’s most important poems: Requiem, a commemoration of the victims of Stalin’s Terror; The Way of All the Earth, a work to which the poet returned repeatedly over the last quarter-century of her life and which combines Old Russian motifs with the modernist search for a lost past; and Poem Without a Hero, widely admired as the poet’s magnum opus. Each poem is accompanied by extensive commentary. The complex and allusive Poem Without a Hero is also provided with an extensive critical commentary that draws on the poet’s manuscripts and private notebooks. Anderson offers relevant facts about the poet’s life and an overview of the political and cultural forces that shaped her work. The resulting volume enables English-language readers to gain a deeper level of understanding of Akhmatova’s poems and how and why they were created.

Book excerpt: Russian Silver Age writers were full participants in European literary debates and movements. Today some of these poets, such as Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky, Pasternak, and Tsvetaeva, are known around the world. This volume introduces Silver Age poetry with its cultural ferment, the manifestos and the philosophical, religious, and aesthetic debates, the occult references and sexual experimentation, and the emergence of women, Jews, gay and lesbian poets, and peasants as part of a brilliant and varied poetic environment. After a thorough introduction, the volume offers brief biographies of the poets and selections of their work in translation--many of them translated especially for this volume--as well as critical and fictional texts (some by the poets themselves) that help establish the context and outline the lively discourse of the era and its indelible moral and artistic aftermath.

Book excerpt: Class Act is a fictional suspense thriller, written in the Hitchcock tradition of slowly building the viewer's apprehension, while engaging his innate fear. The heroine, Dr. Angie Nolan, a psychology professor, is stalked by a killer whose identity is eventually revealed through a series of demented actions. Whoever stalks her has access to her office, her classroom, and her private life. She agonizes over the question of whether the predator is a student, staff member, or friend. No aspect of her existence remains untouched, including the terror of her dreams each night. She confides in Jake Yeager, the new Director of Security, who has demons of his own. His previous career as a US Marshall, provides him a comprehensive understanding of what the 'hunted' suffer. Years of work with the witness protection program sharpened his suspicion of everyday occurrences. In an effort to provide her protection, he unwittingly sets into motion an escalation and acceleration of violence. Angie knows time is running out when the stalker leaves a calling card of burned animals and a whispered message on her answering machine, 'I wanna touch you as you die.....I wanna touch you as you die...' Not until the final chapters of the books, does Angie fully comprehend the complexity of the predator. By then, her life and the lives of her friends depend upon her ability to engage the arrogance of the killer long enough for help to arrive.

Download or read book Russia's World Traveler Poet written by Martin Bidney and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry of Nikolay Gumilev (1886-1921) is part of the life of every educated Russian. Children read him in school for his appealing adventure tales-notably "The Discovery of America," where he shows Columbus guided by the same spirit that gave life to the Russian poet's own lifetime work-the "Muse of Distant Travel." To young Russians Gumilev plays a role like that of Antoine de Saint-�Exup�ry for the youth of France. Yet, characteristically, the "Discovery" is filled with meaning for every mental traveler. One of the central poets of the 20th century, a celebrator of love and risk, heroism and passion, a psychological explorer of deep acuity and a wanderer whose work could almost serve as a poetic world atlas, Gumilev was an officer in the White army and co-�founded the influential poetic movement of Acmeism. Contemporary with Joseph Conrad, he devoted a book to his pioneering journeys in Africa-where he mapped uncharted terrain. There is nothing like this African panorama in modern Western verse. Gumilev needs to be better known in America for his lyrical work-mellifluent, vigorous, and riveting.The eight unabridged Gumilev collections offered here in form-�true renderings will at last allow speakers of English a chance to acquire a thorough acquaintance with one of the finest and-to native speakers-best-�known poets of the Russian canon. Romantic Flowers (1908) offers a kaleidoscope of the poet's early interests, mainly in the Symbolist tradition. Pearl (1910) adds a more detailed realism and offers outstanding narrative poems on Odysseus and Adam. The five-�part Alien Sky (1912) combines the vivid concrete imagery of Acmeism with passionate lyrics often conveying a religious dimension, as in "The Prodigal Son" and the Islamic poem "Pilgrim," and ending with a hilarious one-�act comedy in verse, "Don Juan in Egypt." Quiver (1916) is filled with European travel postcards and character sketches. In Pyre (1918) many lyrics are tenderly personal. In the brief Porcelain Pavilion (1918) we find vignettes of domestic life in China and Indochina, while Tent (1918) is an epic-�scale travelogue of Africa, blending realism and boys' adventure fantasy. Fire Column (1921) achieves a culminating religious and philosophic depth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Review Books Original Victor Serge is one of the great men of the 20th century —and one of its great writers too. He was an anarchist, an agitator, a revolutionary, an exile, a historian of his times, as well as a brilliant novelist, and in Memoirs of a Revolutionary he devotes all his passion and genius to describing this extraordinary—and exemplary—career. Serge tells of his upbringing among exiles and conspirators, of his involvement with the notorious Bonnot Gang and his years in prison, of his role in the Russian Revolution, and of the Revolution’s collapse into despotism and terror. Expelled from the Soviet Union, Serge went to Paris, where he evaded the KGB and the Nazis before fleeing to Mexico. Memoirs of a Revolutionary recounts a thrilling life on the front lines of history and includes vivid portraits not only of Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin but of countless other figures who struggled to remake the world. Peter Sedgwick’s fine translation of Memoirs of a Revolutionary was abridged when first published in 1963. This is the first edition in English to present the entirety of Serge’s book.

Download or read book Songs Without Words written by Paul Verlaine and published by Omnidawn. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Songs without Words (Romances sans paroles) is the book in which, unabashedly, Paul Verlaine becomes himself and, in so doing, becomes the iconic poet of the French nineteenth century. A book of musical sequences, it seeks and finds exquisite purity of expression, best exemplified by Il pleure dans mon coeur, the most famous and most inimitable of all French lyric poems. And it is a book of intertwining narratives also, each of which entertains abasements and ecstasies, crises, crimes and expiations. These, in their separate ways, detail the shadowlands of artistic purity. Verlaine adores and defiles his child-bride, Mathilde. He takes to the road with Arthur Rimbaud, the love of his life, his muse, his captive and captor. Exhaustion is everywhere counterpoised with exaltation, squalor with splendor. And yet, in nearly every syllable, the dignity of Poetry and of human affections, proves inviolable.

Book excerpt: Witness to the international and domestic chaos of the first half of the twentieth century, Anna Akhmatova (1888-1966) chronicled Russia's troubled times in poems of sharp beauty and intensity. Her genius is now universally acknowledged, and recent biographies attest to a remarkable resurgence of interest in her poetry in this country. Here is the essence of Akhmatova - a landmark selection and translation, including excerpts from "Poem with a Hero."
