ASK A QUESTION

The first comprehensive collection of Akhmatova's works, published shortly after her death. This second, expanded edition of the first volume includes Struve's notes on the conversation he had with Akhmatova after she read the galley proof to the first edition. She commented on the fact he had called the years between 1925 and 1940 'a period of complete poetic silence' and clarified that this was because she was expelled. It seems remarkable that her contemporaries weren't aware of the political pressure she was under, with Struve admitting, 'to me it was something quite new at the time'.

Second, revised and enlarged edition of Vol.I and first edition of Vol.II, 2 vols, 8vo (21.5 x 16 cm); edited by Gleb Struve and Boris Fillipov and designed by Gollerbakh, black and white illustrations throughout; publisher's cloth with titles to covers and spine, spines a little browned, else a very good set.
