reviewed Letters: Summer 1926 on September 13, 2017 Letters: Summer 1926
I am giving this chronicle of one Summer five stars all around. It especially goes to the translators who had to translate Russian, French, and German into English. There were passages in the text that were untranslated but had footnotes that were in English. And I was rather glad for the footnotes because I could tell if my own partial translations were correct.
The letters in this volume were written during a turbulent time during The Soviet Era. Many poets and writers left the country because of Stalinist persecution and the fear of being sent off to Siberia. Marina Tsvetayeva left with her family into exile. Pasternak stayed and wrote what he saw despite the fact at anytime he could have been arrested.
The correspondence started with Pasternak thanking Rilke for his praise of Paternak's poems that had been translated. Pasternak asked that Rilke get in touch with Tsvetayeva who was in exile in Europe. This created a passionate cycle of letters that ended with Rilke's death due to leukemia.
This relationship created a dynamic situation that fueled creativity in everyone involved.
Read the letters and see what was created during the Summer of 1926.
