About the book: 2010 / The famous Hungarian writer Gyorgy Dalos wrote a fascinating book about the relationship between Anna Akhmatova and Sir Isaiah Berlin . This story allowed the author to take a fresh look at Akhmatova’s work and show the socio-political atmosphere in which the great poetess worked. Akhmatova was not physically destroyed, like many other geniuses of Russian culture, but her whole life in the conditions of Soviet reality became a difficult and humiliating drama.
