Alexander Mikhailovich Revich (1921-2012) – an outstanding Russian poet and translator, laureate of the USSR State Prize, a person with a unique fate. The war found him a nineteen -year -old boy who turned out to go through the most difficult tests: the front, captivity, escape, penal battalion, Stalingrad. But for many years he almost did not talk about the war, connecting the shores of domestic and European literature by brilliant translations.
The poetry of Alexander Revich is piercing, truthful and amazingly diverse in virtuoso technique, collected in this book.
“To recall the war is unbearable: I had to see too much high and low. My rest of my life was superimposed on the experience. All! The Lord saved me. Maybe so that I write my book of life.”
Compiled by Galina Klimova.
