Specificatii
In this dazzling exploration of one of the most contradictory
periods of literary and artistic achievement in modern history,
journalist Andy McSmith evokes the lives of more than a dozen of
the most brilliant artists and writers of the twentieth century.
Taking us deep into Stalin's Russia, Fear and the Muse Kept Watch
asks the question: can great art be produced in a police state? For
although Josif Stalin ran one of the most oppressive regimes in
world history, under him Russia also produced an outpouring of
artistic works of immense and lasting power--from the poems of Anna
Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam to the opera Peter and the Wolf, the
film Alexander Nevsky, and the novels The Master and Margarita and
Doctor Zhivago. For those artists visible enough for Stalin to take
an interest in them, it was Stalin himself who decided whether they
lived in luxury or were sent to the Lubyanka, the headquarters of
the secret police, to be tortured and sometimes even executed.
McSmith brings together the stories of these artists--including
Isaac Babel, Boris Pasternak, Dmitri Shostakovich, and many
others--revealing how they pursued their art under Stalin's regime
and often at great personal risk. It was a world in which the poet
Vladimir Mayakovsky, whose bright yellow tunic was considered a
threat to public order under the tsars, struggled to make the
communist authorities see the value of avant garde art; Babel
publicly thanked the regime for allowing him the privilege of not
writing; and Shostakovich's career veered wildly between public
disgrace and wealth and acclaim. In the tradition of Eileen
Simpson's Poets in Their Youth and Phyllis Rose's Parallel Lives,
Fear and the Muse Kept Watch is an extraordinary work of historical
recovery. It is also a bold exploration of the triumph of art
during terrible times and a book that will stay with its readers
for a long, long while.
