It was not his first arrest—he had already been imprisoned multiple times, as well as tortured, exiled, and blacklisted for the criticism of the Soviet state implicit in his verse. And yet many of his poems survived attempted purges—often hidden in the unlikeliest places, and protected at great risk by his friends and admirers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume collects the best of his work, including poems he was unable to publish in his lifetime. Dense and sonorous, his poetry magnificently merges the European past at its best with Russian experience at its worst. Full of light and beauty, bitterness and desolation, Mandelshtam's verse is a powerful expression of the struggle to bear injustice and the poignant dream of a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Meadow Where Time Stands Still\u003c\/em\u003e is a testament to Mandelshtam’s enduring legacy and his unyielding spirit in the face of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548208283884,"sku":"9781805331674","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a25bd7ef4c914fac156b64c50bb7570d.jpg?v=1776908154","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-meadow-where-time-stands-still-by-osip-mandelshtam-9781805331674","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
