Poems of Osip Mandelstam | 
Not just the voice of one man, but through him the speech of countless anonymised victims of Stalins iron hand. Their spirit finds us through his work, something more real than the excuses and the propaganda. And definitely something else, than hushed down silence. It‘s very good. And he‘d be more famous if things were different. Not exactly political, his work is simply art. Beautiful, timely, acute.
