Extrait : Anna Akhmatova (en russe : ; 23 juin 1889 - 5 mars 1966) est le nom de plume d'Anna Andreïevna Gorenko (en russe : ), une des plus importantes poétesses russes du siècle. Égérie des acméistes, surnommée la « reine de la Neva » ou « l'Âme de l'Âge d'Argent », Anna Akhmatova demeure aujourd'hui encore l'une des plus grandes figures féminines de la littérature russe. L'œuvre d'Akhmatova se compose aussi bien de petits poèmes lyriques, genre qu'elle contribue à renouveler, que de grandes compositions poétiques, comme Requiem, son sombre chef-d'œuvre sur la terreur stalinienne. Les thèmes récurrents de son œuvre sont le temps qui passe, les souvenirs, le destin de la femme créatrice et les difficultés pour vivre et pour écrire dans l'ombre du stalinisme. Anna Akhmatova en 1914Akhmatova est née à Bolchoï Fontan, près d'Odessa, troisième des six enfants d'un père ingénieur de marine.

Elle écrit de la poésie dès l'âge de 11 ans, inspirée par ses poètes favoris : Evguéni Baratynski et Pouchkine.

Excerpt: Anna Akhmatova (Russian and Ukrainian: ; June 23 1889 March 5, 1966) was the pen name of Anna Andreëvna Gorenko (Russian: ; Ukrainian: ), a Russian/Soviet poet credited with a large influence on Russian poetry. Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935-40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her work addresses a variety of themes including time and memory, the fate of creative women, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism. She has been widely translated into many languages and is one of the best-known Russian poets of 20th century. Akhmatova was born at Bolshoy Fontan in Odessa to Andrey Antonovich Gorenko and Inna Erazmovna Stogova. Her family belonged to the untitled Russian aristocracy. Her mother's family traced its ancestry to Achmat Khan (from whom the pen-name Akhmatova was derived), a direct descendent of Genghis Khan. Her childhood does not appear to have been happy; her parents separated in 1905. She was educated in Tsarskoe Selo (where she first met her future husband, Nikolay Gumilyov) and in Kiev. Anna started writing poetry at the age of 11, inspired by her favourite poets: Racine, Pushkin, and Baratynsky. As her father did not want to see any verses printed under his "respectable" name, she chose to adopt the surname of her Tatar grandmother as a pseudonym. Many of the male Russian poets of the time declared their love for Akhmatova; she reciprocated the attentions of Osip Mandelstam, whose wife, Nade...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=66569 ... Read more
