HOPE ABANDONED

Leaders & Notable People

A Contemporary Classics hardcover of the inspiring account by the poet Osip Mandelstam's devoted wife of their life together as he faced exile and repression in the Soviet Union, before dying in Stalin's Great Purge. Nadezhda means "hope" in Russian, and Nadezhda Mandelstam's memoir of her life with her husband Osip is a vital eyewitness account of Stalin's Soviet Union and one of the greatest testaments to the value of literature and imaginative freedom ever written. But it is also a profound inspiration--a love story that relates the daily struggle to keep both love and art alive in the most desperate circumstances. After years of circulating privately in the Soviet Union, Hope Against Hope was smuggled out and published in the West in 1970 and has since achieved the status of a classic. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
