ANNA OF ALL THE RUSSIAS: A LIFE OF ANNA AKHMATOVA
Book ID/图书代码： 10010005B08206
English Summary/英文概要： Anna Akhmatova is recognised as the greatest woman poet of Russian literature. Her work has a classical perfection, drawn from Pushkin, and a passionate voice, which rises directly out of the drama of her own life. Many men fell in love with her beauty, yet all three of her marriages were brutally unhappy. Her life has a particular resonance for women. She began writing at a time when ’to think of a woman as a poet was absurd,’ as she remarked ironically. Her genius soared above any such category; yet the human price she had to pay for that triumph was as a wife and mother. Her first husband was executed by the Bolsheviks; her only son spent sixteen years in the Gulag during Stalin’s terror; her third husband died there. Although banned from publishing poetry for a quarter of a century this did not stop her writing in secret, which as Feinstein says ’gave voice to the suffering of the Russian people’. Her stubborn loyalty to friends in danger - Shostakovich, Mandelstam, Pasternak and the playwright Bulgakov - showed a courage few possess, and she became an iconic figure for those whom the Soviet regime repressed. This heroic role was sustained through illness (she had TB for much of her adult life), poverty and a lifelong conflict between womanly affections and the demands of her art. Another great Russian poet of the twentieth century, Marina Tsvetayeva, called her ’Anna of all the Russias’ as if she were a Tsarina.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在〈安娜·阿赫玛托娃〉中，ELAINE讲述了这位伟大女诗人的不平凡一生，安娜被誉为俄罗斯文坛最了不起的诗人之一，也是二十世纪最引人注目的人物之一，作者借鉴了大量一手资料，其中包括安娜本人的回忆录，来往信笺，和日记，以及与阿赫玛托娃在世的朋友、家人的采访记录。
阿赫玛托娃的一生对于当今女性来说是非常有共鸣性的，即使在她从事写作的那个年代，“把女人看作诗人是非常可笑的一件事”----她本人这样自嘲到。她的天分几乎超越了任何的范畴，然而为了获得如此大的成功，她所付出的代价是任何一位母亲、妻子都难以想象的。
许多男人被她的美貌深深吸引，拜倒在她的石榴裙下，但是她所经历的三次婚姻都给她带来了无限的痛苦，在斯大林统治的黑暗时期里，她竟然被禁止出书，而她唯一的儿子还有第三任老公都被关在俄国的古拉格集中营里充当人质作为要挟，要让她保持沉默。安娜几乎成了生活在苏维埃黑色政权压迫下所有人民的偶像，即使在疾病、贫穷的折磨下，夹杂在女人特有的感情需求和艺术工作上的苛刻要求之间，安娜都义无返顾的保持着他独特的英雄般气概。
安娜·阿赫玛托娃的作品既有普希金大师的儒雅，也蕴涵了源自她本人戏剧人生的激情。ELAINE让我们深刻的了解了这样一位诗人，她的气度和镇定让茨维塔耶娃----唯一一位可以和安娜·阿赫玛托娃媲美的女诗人----不禁感叹，把她成为“全俄罗斯的安娜”，就好像她是沙皇一样。
