We needn't worry again about how to read Akhmatova in translation... the translations are remarkable. Reading this enormous, impeccable book, we watch her work achieve the supreme goal of lyric poetry: to transfigure loss without belittling it, commemorate love without cooling it, and embody the truth of disparate lives in a single self. (Andrew Motion The Observer)
Hemschemeyer's versions are the best I have ever seen. This great lilac brick of a book is a stupendous bargain. (Michael Hoffman The Times)
This edition is an enormous achievement . . . usefully annotated and well illustrated. The text is the definitive English-language edition of Akhmatova . . . a ground-breaking work. (Elizabeth Burns The Scotsman)
A fitting tribute to one of the greatest poets of the century... this is a volume to be treasured. (The Good Book Guide)
This is one of the most important publications of the year, if not the decade. (Adam Thorpe Literary Review) --Adam Thorpe - Literary Review
Through much of the twentieth century, Anna Akhmatova's poetry gave voice to the deepest yearnings and struggles of the Russian people. Born in 1889, she survived these upheavals, refusing to abandon either Russia or her craft despite vicious attacks on her name and censorship of her work. When committing poems to paper threatened to cause her arrest, a few close friends faithfully memorised her lines. By the time she died in 1966, Anna Akhmatova was recognized as one of the world's great poets.
