我的夜晚是对你的狂想:阿赫玛托娃诗选

Rate this book
阿赫玛托娃以抒情诗、爱情诗见长,本书精选其代表抒情诗集《黄昏》《念珠》《白色的一群》《车前草》等中的作品,并收入其重要代表作——史诗一样的组诗《安魂曲》。

阿赫玛托娃被誉为俄罗斯白银时代的灵魂、“俄国的萨福”;相对于普希金——“俄罗斯诗歌的太阳”,阿赫玛托娃被称作“俄罗斯诗歌的月亮”。

阿赫玛托娃是以抒情诗和爱情诗见长的伟大诗人,本书精选了其重要的抒情诗集《黄昏》《念珠》《白色的一群》《车前草》《耶稣纪元》《第七集》中的大部分作品,以及史诗—组诗《安魂曲》全部。

其中抒情诗部分以短诗见长,每篇都是平中见奇:常景见奇思,常物见奇意,常事见奇情,常语见奇趣。在她的笔下有初恋的少女、有热恋的情人也有被爱抛弃的失意者,其中不乏生活的哲理。大自然在她的笔下是会说话的精灵,是主人公亲密的朋友。阿赫玛托娃所运用的富有寓意的景物有玫瑰(роза)、杨柳(ива)、滨藜(лебеда)、蒲公英(одуванчик)、荨蔴(крапива)、牛蒡(лопух)、野蔷薇(шиповник)、车前草(подорожник)等等。

《安魂曲》与上述情诗截然不同,其主题是以个人的苦难来折射民族的灾难和不幸,该诗以其深邃的思想性、哲理性和艺术上的新颖引起国内外的广泛注意。它也标志着诗人的风格从此前的精致、纤细、典雅脱胎换骨为粗犷、坚韧、沉着、有力、肃穆、庄重。作者凭借这部作品丰富和拓展了“抒情的历史主义”诗歌传统,也为自己跻身世界性诗歌大师的行列奠定了一块坚实的基石。

Personal themes characterize lyrical beauty of noted work of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, pseudonym of Anna Andreevna Gorenko; the Soviet government banned her books between 1946 and 1958.

People credit this modernist of the most acclaimed writers in the canon.

Her writing ranges from short lyrics to universalized, ingeniously structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935-40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her work addresses a variety of themes including time and memory, the fate of creative women, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism. She has been widely translated into many languages, and is one of the best-known Russian poets of 20th century.

In 1910, she married the poet, Nikolay Gumilyov, who very soon left her for lion hunting in Africa, the battlefields of World War I, and the society of Parisian grisettes. Her husband did not take her poems seriously, and was shocked when Alexander Blok declared to him that he preferred her poems to his. Their son, Lev, born in 1912, was to become a famous Neo-Eurasianist historian.

Nikolay Gumilyov was executed in 1921 for activities considered anti-Soviet; Akhmatova then married a prominent Assyriologist Vladimir Shilejko, and then an art scholar, Nikolay Punin, who died in the Stalinist Gulag camps. After that, she spurned several proposals from the married poet, Boris Pasternak.

After 1922, Akhmatova was condemned as a bourgeois element, and from 1925 to 1940, her poetry was banned from publication. She earned her living by translating Leopardi and publishing essays, including some brilliant essays on Pushkin, in scholarly periodicals. All of her friends either emigrated or were repressed.

Her son spent his youth in Stalinist gulags, and she even resorted to publishing several poems in praise of Stalin to secure his release. Their relations remained strained, however. Akhmatova died at the age of 76 in St. Peterburg. She was interred at Komarovo Cemetery.

There is a museum devoted to Akhmatova at the apartment where she lived with Nikolai Punin at the garden wing of the Fountain House (more properly known as the Sheremetev Palace) on the Fontanka Embankment, where Akhmatova lived from the mid 1920s until 1952.
