Letters: Summer 1926 (New York Review Books Classics)
Poets Pasternak, Marian Tsvetayeva, and Rainer Maria Rilke were  not having a banner year in 1926: Pasternak was stuck in Moscow  trying to stay out of the way of the Bolsheviks; Tsvetayeva was  in France after having been booted from Russia; and Rilke was  dying in Switzerland. The trio began a correspondence spelling  out their assorted woes as well as holding lengthy discussions  about art, love, and other poetic topics. This 1983 title offers  a selection of their letters along with numerous photographs.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
