Summary:
"Immense poète russe, fervente amoureuse menant plusieurs liaisons à la fois: Rilke lui préfère Lou Andreas-Salomé, Pasternak en épouse une autre mais la protège jusqu'à sa mort, au bout d'une corde dans un grenier d'où elle avait vue sur le champ qu'elle grattait à mains nues à la recherche des pommes de terre oubliées des paysans. Une vie débordante d'épreuves: la misère pendant la guerre civile, sa fille de trois ans morte de faim dans un orphelinat, son mari qui se bat contre le régime soviétique... Rejetée par les poètes officiels, puis par la riche diaspora russe en France, elle retourne dans son pays pour mettre fin à sa vie d'errance. Enterrée sous une motte de terre anonyme dans le cimetière d'Elabouga, Marina Tsvétaïéva, martyre de l'époque stalinienne."--Back cover.
A huge Russian poet, fervent in love, leading several liaisons at once: Rilke prefers Lou Andreas-Salomé, Pasternak marries another but protects her until her death, at the end of a rope in an attic from where she she had a view of the field she was scratching with her bare hands in search of the forgotten potatoes of the peasants. A life overflowing with hardships: misery during the civil war, her three-year-old daughter starving in an orphanage, her husband fighting against the Soviet regime ... Rejected by the official poets, then by the rich Russian diaspora in France, she returns to her country to end her wandering life. Buried under a clump of anonymous land in the cemetery of Elabouga, Marina Tsvétaïéva, martyr of the Stalinist era.
