The Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum invites you to the presentation of the book “Rainer Maria Rilke. Boris Pasternak. Marina Tsvetaeva. Correspondence of 1926.”
Amazing and tragic circumstances brought together at the beginning of 1926 three great poets: B.L. Pasternak from Russia, M.I. Tsvetaeva from France, and M.R. Rilke from Switzerland. Their correspondence lasted several months and ended with the death of Rainer Maria Rilke at the end of the same year.
Half a century ago, the study of this triple “epistolary novel” was undertaken by Boris Pasternak’s son and daughter-in-law, E.B. and E.V. Pasternak, together with K.M. Azadovsky — they published it in 1990. The discovery of the Tsvetaeva archive at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art enabled the preparation of a new, extensively commented edition in 2000. In the new 2026 version, the texts and commentaries by K.M. Azadovsky are presented in the most complete edition, and a new introductory article has also been added.
The speaker is Konstantin Azadovsky, a literary historian, philologist, and translator, a researcher of the works of Rilke and Tsvetaeva, a member of the International Rainer Maria Rilke Society, and a corresponding member of the German Academy for Language and Literature.
