Product Details

Praise

“[Hope Against Hope is] surely the most luminous account we have—or are likely to get—of life in the Soviet Union during the purges of the 1930s.” —The New York Review of Books

“Nothing one can say will either communicate or affect the genius of this book. To pass judgment on it is almost insolence—even judgment that is merely celebration and homage.” —The New Yorker
 
“A masterpiece of prose as well as a model of biographical narrative and social analysis.” —Clive James
 
“No other work conveys as well the atmosphere of the 1930s terror, nor how Russian people survived it by listening to their great poets.” —Orlando Figes
 
“A superb memoir . . . A reminder that it is only a genuine work of art which is capable of communicating a reality so appalling as the Stalinist terror.” ―Philip Toynbee
 
“One of the most important books written in Russian in the twentieth century.” –from the Introduction by Maria Stepanova
