Although prose briefly gained the high ground, poetry again became dominant with the 'Silver Age', which held to a magical view of the world when reason and progress appeared to be collapsing throughout early twentieth-century Europe. During the Soviet era, poetry became a dangerous, subversive activity; nevertheless, poets such as Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova continued to defy the censors and write verse. This fabulous anthology traces Russian poetry from its Golden Age to the modern era, presenting the very best poems in captivating modern translations by Robert Chandler and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003ePublisher information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublisher: Penguin Random House\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eISBN: 9780141198309\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eNumber of pages: 592\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDimensions: 19.7 × 3.2 × 13 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInterest age: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starlight Library","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54213130584377,"sku":"9780141198309","price":25.0,"currency_code":"IQD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/4624\/6457\/files\/The-Penguin-Book-of-Russian-Poetry.jpg?v=1784987411","url":"https:\/\/starlightlibrary.shop\/products\/the-penguin-book-of-russian-poetry-by-edited-by-robert-chandler-boris-dralyuk-and-irina-mashinski-introductory-notes-by-robert-chandler-and-boris-dralyuk","provider":"Starlight Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
