Osip Emilievich Mandelstam (1891—1938) was one of the most significant Russian poets of the Silver Age. His poems were first published when he was only nineteen years old, and at the age of forty-seven, he perished in a transit camp on his way to Kolyma. After twenty years of official oblivion, Mandelstam's poetry gradually began to return to readers. "To exist is the highest self-esteem of an artist. He does not want any other paradise except existence," wrote Osip Mandelstam. The great poet, who changed the very structure of the Russian language, like no one else, was able to feel the air of a cruel era, that "wolfhound century" which led the poet to his death in the transit point of Dalstroy in Vladivostok. But before the Stalinist repressions, there was the Silver Age and St. Petersburg, the First World War and the revolution: the "noise of time" that took one's breath away... Osip Mandelstam's mastery is the art of a master, organically linked to the word, a stern and strict craftsman.
