Fiction

'Hope Against Hope' recounted the last four years in the life of the great Russian poet, Osip Mandelstam, and gave an account of Stalin's terror. 'Hope Abandoned' complements that earlier masterpiece, and in it Nadezhada Mandelstam describes their life together from 1919, and her own after Mandelstam's death in a labour camp in 1938.
