Description

Explore the life of one of the most important poets of his era in this detailed biography by Geoffrey Hosking. Aleksandr Tvardovskii was a major figure in Soviet literary culture, serving as both a popular poet and the editor of Novyi mir, the most prominent literary journal of the postwar period until the 1970s. This historical study examines Tvardovskii's profound influence on the literary landscape in the two decades following Stalin's death. The book tracks his personal and political evolution from an ardent Stalinist who renounced his kulak family to a dedicated advocate of tolerance. Part of the Historical Studies in Eastern Europe and Eurasia series from CEU Press, this work provides deep insight into the changing social and political dynamics of the Soviet Union through the lens of a single, influential life.
