Review
“At once a travel narrative, an allegorical journey, a withering comment on State-Building, a humanist philosophy of life, a preparation for death and a prophecy of resurrection...Journey was the last piece Mandelstam saw published, and it takes its place among the outstanding masterpieces of twentieth-century literature.” —Bruce Chatwin

About the Author
Osip Mandelstam (1891–1938) was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia. As an established poet, Mandelstam was unpopular with Soviet authorities and found it increasingly difficult to publish his poetry. The Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam and Voronezh Notebooks are published by NYRB. Henry Gifford (1913–2003) was Winterstoke Professor of English Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature at Bristol University. Sidney Monas is Professor Emeritus in the Department of History at the University of Texas, Austin.

a gift for poetryMy planned journey to Armenia next month (May 2016) holds many challenges, not the smallest of them being to overcome my fear for the work of Osip Emilievich Mandelstam. On this occasion starting – were else – with his travelogue ‘Journey to Armenia’.Osip Emilievich Mandelstam, a Jew, was born in Warsaw in 1891 and died a political prisoner in a concentration camp near Vladivostok in 1938.His journey to Armenia took place in 1930 and was arranged by his friend and protector Nikolai Bukharin, as a trip on ‘official business’ a mission. It was not a vacation, since the end in view was a piece of writing that would be of practical use in the advancement of government policy. Mandelstam’s task was to bring back an optimistic report on the pleasure that the ancient land of Armenia was experiencing as it settled into its new Soviet identity.Whether the intelligent Bukharin ever really expected to see such a piece of writing from the hand of his friend we will never know. What we do know is that Journey to Armenia was published in the Star (Zvezda) in 1933. That the responsible editor (censor) was sacked and that no syllable of Mandelstam thereafter was ever to be published in the Soviet Union during his lifetime. In 1934 he was arrested for writing (and reading) an epigram on Stalin, ‘the Kremlin highlander’ he calls him there:( … )The Kremlin highlander is mentioned.His thick fingers are fat like worms,His words hit hard like heavy weights,His cockroach’s huge moustaches laugh( … )At first Mandelstam and his wife Nadezhda are forced to live in exile. But in 1938 (at the height of the Great Purge) he is sentenced to five years in a concentration camp near Vladivostok on the charge of counter revolutionary activities. It is there that on 27th of December 1938 he dies. According to the romantic views of Ilya Ehrenburg, reading the sonnets of Petrarch next to the stove. According to an anonymous correspondent; as a mad man, feeding on garbage, filthy with long grey hair and beard, dressed in tatters, the scarecrow of the camp.The summer months of his journey to Armenia were probably his last happy months with his wife Nadezhda (Nadenka, Nadya) Yakovlevna. “Journey to Armenia†is not exactly conventional travel writing, although some passages hold description and narration, but this ‘traditional’ writing is overshadowed by meditations on painting, writing , architecture, natural science … . Many years later Nadezhda would write that the journey to Armenia had given Mandelstam back his gift for poetry.The book seems to have a rather conventional structure. In the beginning we arrive at the exotic place promised to us by the title and in the end fading out in the classical manner of travel writing that one journey has come to an end, but will be succeeded by another yet unknown journey. (not knowing that journey would be his exile and later his imprisonment near Vladivostok, how said that real life is always stranger than our weirdest imagination)In between the ‘conventional’ beginning and ending, we ‘wander’ back and forth without warning between Moscow and Armenia, between traditional narrative and meditations on art and science, life and death all in a highly personal approach. Not exactly an easy read, even tracing Mandelstam’s footsteps on the map isn’t to easy to do. I wonder if I manage to see some of his tracks back in Armenia.Armenia and the Caucasus were for Mandelstam genuine civilization, Judaic, Hellenic, Christian on the brink of Europe and Asia. Mandelstam’s way of trying to find a ‘new reality’.Poetry nor prose were for Mandelstam anything but a game of words, but a highly personal way of expressing, not precisely a guidebook. Leaving me nothing than to discover Armenia for myself I am afraid. (and of course thinking of Mandelstam and Armenia I cannot help trying my own ‘gift of poetry’ ;-) the various shades of soundthe noise of timethe tumult of the townthe hum of the citythe murmur of the woodthe sough of the forestthe surge of the seathe sound of the lakethe dying of the streamthe swoosh of Nike’s wings
