Vremia; ty menia obmanesh’!), mar the volume
unnecessarily.
The Afterword concludes with an excellent
discussion of the publication history and a very
interesting section on structural and thematic
features ofPosle Rossii; some points are argu-
able, but Naydan’s discussion of time and space,
Biblical and historical themes, and Cvetaeva’s
exploration of the chronicle structure is insight-
ful and stimulating.
This monumental fruit of the translator’s
labor belongs in every library which serves
undergraduate students of Russian, and offers
a thought-provoking reference for the scholar.
