Olga Zaslavskaya’s book is dedicated to the complex interaction of the reading and creative experiences of the poets of the “great triangle” (as Joseph Brodsky put it) - Tsvetaeva, Pasternak and Rilke. Zaslavskaya examines the work of these authors in the period between 1926, the year of their triple correspondence, and 1930, the year of publication of the “Safety Certificate,” showing how the interdependence of poetic images arose, how poetic monologues turned into dedications and literary dialogues. The book also pays attention to the interaction of literary realities and cultural myths - above all, the myth of Pushkin, which gave rise to and supported one of the most interesting poetic conversations of the 20th century.
