Egyptian brand. Memories, essays, essays: Osip Mandelstam

This book includes the chosen works of the outstanding Russian poet of the Silver Age Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938) – essays, articles and essays dedicated to the history of world culture and poetry, as well as the autobiographical novels “The noise of time”, “Feodosia”, “Egyptian brand” and “Fourth prose”. United by the theme of the narrative – Petersburg at the turn of the 19th -XX centuries, Mandelstam memoirs, deeply personal and at the same time invaluable evidence of the era, recreate the picture of the ghostly, feverish, decaying world of revolutionary Russia. Mandelstam’s prosaic texts, according to Andrei Bitov, were written by the poet “with the speed and suddenness of the lyrics” and, without a doubt, belong to the best examples of intellectual literature.
