Download Nikolai Gumilev's Africa Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Gumilev holds a unique position in the history of Russian poetry as a result of his profound involvement with Africa. He extensively wrote both poetry and prose on the culture of the continent in general and on Ethiopia (Abyssinia, as it was called in Gumilev’s time) in particular. During his abbreviated lifetime Gumilev made four trips to Northern and Eastern Africa, the most extensive of which was a 1913 expedition to Abyssinia undertaken on assignment from the St. Petersburg Imperial Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography. During that trip Gumilev collected Ethiopian folklore and ethnographic objects, which, upon his return to St. Petersburg, he deposited at the Museum. He and his assistant Nikolai Sverchkov also made more than 200 photographs that offer a unique picture of the African country in the early part of the century. This volume collects all of Gumilev’s poetry and prose written about Africa for the first time as well as a number of the photographs that he and Nikolai Sverchkov took during their trip that give a fascinating view of that part of the world in the early twentieth century. Translated by Slava I. Yastremski, Michael M. Naydan, and Maria Badanova.

Charles Clover, award-winning journalist and former Moscow bureau chief for the Financial Times, here analyses the idea of "Eurasianism," a theory of Russian national identity based on ethnicity and geography. Clover traces Eurasianism’s origins in the writings of White Russian exiles in 1920s Europe, through Siberia’s Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady infiltration of the governing elite around Vladimir Putin. This eye-opening analysis pieces together the evidence for Eurasianism’s place at the heart of Kremlin thinking today and explores its impact on recent events, the annexation of Crimea, the rise in Russia of anti-Western paranoia and imperialist rhetoric, as well as Putin’s sometimes perplexing political actions and ambitions. Based on extensive research and dozens of interviews with Putin’s close advisers, this quietly explosive story will be essential reading for anyone concerned with Russia’s past century, and its future.

Download The Diaries of Nikolay Punin Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Nikolay Punin (1888-1953) was the most articulate Russian/Soviet art critic of the 1920s. He strongly advocated Constructivism, an avant-garde impulse that favored mechanomorphic abstraction and proclaimed a movement to bring art into the center of popular life. In the United States, he is perhaps best remembered for his love affair with Anna Akhmatova, one of the great poets of the twentieth century. This volume presents the first English translation of ten diary notebooks that Punin wrote between 1915 and 1936, as well as selections from his earlier (1904-1910) and later (1941-1946) diaries and some thirty notes and letters relating to his affair with Anna Akhmatova. These materials offer a rare glimpse into the life of art and artists in Russia. They also present vivid scenes from the 1905 Revolution, World War I, the 1917 Revolutions, World War II, and Stalinist oppression through the reflections of a talented man, who, unlike many of his generation, lived to tell the tale.

Download Russia's World Traveler Poet Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The poetry of Nikolay Gumilev (1886-1921) is part of the life of every educated Russian. Children read him in school for his appealing adventure tales-notably "The Discovery of America," where he shows Columbus guided by the same spirit that gave life to the Russian poet's own lifetime work-the "Muse of Distant Travel." To young Russians Gumilev plays a role like that of Antoine de Saint-�Exup�ry for the youth of France. Yet, characteristically, the "Discovery" is filled with meaning for every mental traveler. One of the central poets of the 20th century, a celebrator of love and risk, heroism and passion, a psychological explorer of deep acuity and a wanderer whose work could almost serve as a poetic world atlas, Gumilev was an officer in the White army and co-�founded the influential poetic movement of Acmeism. Contemporary with Joseph Conrad, he devoted a book to his pioneering journeys in Africa-where he mapped uncharted terrain. There is nothing like this African panorama in modern Western verse. Gumilev needs to be better known in America for his lyrical work-mellifluent, vigorous, and riveting.The eight unabridged Gumilev collections offered here in form-�true renderings will at last allow speakers of English a chance to acquire a thorough acquaintance with one of the finest and-to native speakers-best-�known poets of the Russian canon. Romantic Flowers (1908) offers a kaleidoscope of the poet's early interests, mainly in the Symbolist tradition. Pearl (1910) adds a more detailed realism and offers outstanding narrative poems on Odysseus and Adam. The five-�part Alien Sky (1912) combines the vivid concrete imagery of Acmeism with passionate lyrics often conveying a religious dimension, as in "The Prodigal Son" and the Islamic poem "Pilgrim," and ending with a hilarious one-�act comedy in verse, "Don Juan in Egypt." Quiver (1916) is filled with European travel postcards and character sketches. In Pyre (1918) many lyrics are tenderly personal. In the brief Porcelain Pavilion (1918) we find vignettes of domestic life in China and Indochina, while Tent (1918) is an epic-�scale travelogue of Africa, blending realism and boys' adventure fantasy. Fire Column (1921) achieves a culminating religious and philosophic depth.
