Osip Mandelstam (1891–1938) is one of the key figures of Russian culture of the 20th century, with a very special and original poetic voice. “In the craft of words, I value only wild meat, only crazy growth,” this is how Mandelstam defined the peculiarity of his prose with its aphoristic, laconic, dense linguistic fabric. This is, first of all, “The Noise of Time”, not a chronicle, but an oratorio of the era - and at the same time, deeply personal memories. The book includes the works “The Noise of Time”, “Feodosia”, “Egyptian Brand”, “Fourth Prose”, “Travel to Armenia”, vividly capturing the social and literary life of the 10-30s of the last century.
