Description

Even in her own day Anna Akhmatova was ranked as one of the great Russian poets of the century.

Yet she suffered scathing attacks from the Soviet establishment, was famously denounced as ""half-nun, half-whore"", and was finally expelled from the Writers' Union.

Lydia Chukovskaya, an admirer who became the poet's close friend, kept intimate diaries that reveal the day-to-day life of a passionate artist forced to endure sorrow and oppression, yet still able to create poetry and friendship.

This volume contains the journals kept between the years 1938 and 1941.
