Two Plays by Olga Mukhina
Routledge
1999
nidottu
Olga Mukhina is one of the most talented, young playwrights in Russia. Born in Moscow in 1970, she has already garnered enviable praise from critics and audiences throughout Russia and Europe since her first play, Tanya-Tanya, was performed in 1996. Tanya-Tanya is an atmospheric, poetic tale that observes three couples at a suburban Moscow home who dance, drink champagne, kiss, fall in and out of love, and struggle with dignity and humor to keep some semblance of control over their lives. The parallels with Chekhovian drama are undeniable and clearly intended by the author. You, Mukhina's most recent work, is a love poem to her hometown of Moscow as well as a scathing attack on the apathy of people blindly wrapped up in their own happiness and sorrow.

Så stod han bara där, berättade Olga. Hon hade aldrig sett mannen förut, ändå förstod hon i detta ögonblick att hon ville dela sitt liv med honom. Händelsen är upprinnelsen till romanen Maken till Olga Om fasta band och brustna trådar. Detta förälskelsens ögonblick inträffade år 1913 då den unge rallaren Johan från Trönö i Hälsingland stod utanför dörren till Olgas hem, en arbetarbostad i Skoghall i Värmland. Hon var 20 år och han var 24. Vem var då Johan och vem var Olga? Hur var det möjligt att de två kunde mötas trots olikheter och avstånd? Vad förenade dem och vad höll dem samman? Vilka vad deras livsmål, hur blev deras liv och hur såg deras sammanhang ut? Med avstamp i tidigare generationers svåra vedermödor, i en förändringens tid då den religiösa tron och de framväxande ideologiska rörelserna präglade människors liv, får läsaren följa Olga och Johan och deras livsväg från barndomen och till varandra, från förälskelse till en kärlek som höll hela livet.
Kärleksbrev från min svenska morfar Folke till min amerikanska mormor Olga som träffades i Bryssel 1909. Olga var arton och Folke tjugotre. De gifte sig samma år och bosatte sig i Göteborg och på Särö. Olga som var amerikanska hade sin familj i Florida. Folke insåg snart att om man gifter sig med en kvinna från en annan kontinent och denna kvinna är charmerande oberoende, påhittig och modig, och dessutom har en egen inkomst, då får man räkna med att hon vill besöka sitt hemland någon enstaka gång -- eller flera gånger -- eller mer än flera gånger. Folke som var en känslig själ saknade Olga kolossalt när hon var bortrest. Han "talade" med henne i sina många brev. Olga sparade Folkes brev (skrivna på engelska) i de ursprungliga kuverten, i prydliga buntar sammanhållna av band i olika färger. Breven vittnade alla om Folkes stora kärlek för henne.
Den nye chefen för Västerbottens regemente – Major Niclas Ekeskiöld inleder en veritabel hetsjakt på Anna och Carina som anklagas för att ha brutit mot någon av kyrkans regler. De påstådda brotten var så allvarliga att de blir brända på bål om Ekeskiöld får tag i dem. Nicholaus och Carina flyr på skidor från Betselet upp till fjällen men förföljs av Ekeskiöld. Ekeskiöld jagar också Timo och Pekka som felaktigt anklagas för att ha gömt sig i Lappmarken för att slippa bli soldater. Carina rekryteras av de samiska gudarna. De vill ha en nåjd som kan hjälpa samebyn att överleva i en verklighet där kyrkan, kungen och nybyggarna kräver allt större utrymme.
Teoksessa on sekä mielikuvitusta että tosiasioita. Siinä on teemana Olga-mamma (1885-1969) ja hänen murteensa. Kirja koostuu monista erilaisista tarinoista, jotka kaikki sijoittuvat 1950-luvulle. Elämää eletään ensin Keski-Pohjanmaalla ja sitten Varsinais-Suomessa, Perniön pitäjässä. Tarinat ovat murteesta huolimatta helppolukuisia ja helposti ymmärrettäviä. Mukana tarinoissa on myös paljon historian havinaa sekä psykologisia kannanottoja lapsen ja isoäidin sekä koko perheen kannalta katsottuna.
The Poetry and Poetics of Olga Sedakova
University of Wisconsin Press
2019
sidottu
Olga Sedakova stands out among contemporary Russian poets for the integrity, erudition, intellectual force, and moral courage of her writing. After years of flourishing quietly in the late Soviet underground, she has increasingly brought her considered voice into public debates to speak out for freedom of belief and for those who have been treated unjustly. This volume, the first collection of scholarly essays to treat her work in English, assesses her contributions as a poet and as a thinker, presenting far-reaching accounts of broad themes and patterns of thought across her writings as well as close readings of individual texts.Essayists from Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, and the United States show how Sedakova has contributed to ongoing aesthetic and cultural debates. Like Sedakova's own work, the volume affirms the capacity of words to convey meaning and to change our understanding of life itself. The volume also includes dozens of elegant new translations of Sedakova's poems.

"Powerful and haunting . . . an intimate and unforgettable tale that transports the reader to the heart of Imperial Russia." --Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba This sweeping novel takes readers behind palace walls to see the end of Imperial Russia through the eyes of Olga Nikolaevna Romanov, the first daughter of the last tsar Grand Duchess Olga Romanov comes of age amid a shifting tide for the great dynasties of Europe. But even as unrest simmers in the capital, Olga is content to live within the confines of the sheltered life her parents have built for her and her three sisters: hiding from the world on account of their mother's ill health, their brother Alexei's secret affliction, and rising controversy over Father Grigori Rasputin, the priest on whom the tsarina has come to rely. Olga's only escape from the seclusion of Alexander Palace comes from the grand tea parties her aunt hosts amid the shadow court of Saint Petersburg--a world of opulent ballrooms, scandalous flirtation, and whispered conversation. But as war approaches, the palaces of Russia are transformed. Olga and her sisters trade their gowns for nursing habits, assisting in surgeries and tending to the wounded bodies and minds of Russia's military officers. As troubling rumors about her parents trickle in from the front, Olga dares to hope that a budding romance might survive whatever the future may hold. But when tensions run high and supplies run low, the controversy over Rasputin grows into fiery protest, and calls for revolution threaten to end three hundred years of Romanov rule.At turns glittering and harrowing, The Last Grand Duchess is a story about dynasty, duty, and love, but above all, it's the story of a family who would choose devotion to each other over everything--including their lives.Looking for more historical fiction from Bryn Turnbull? Don't miss The Woman Before Wallis. For fans of The Paris Wife and The Crown, this stunning novel tells the true story of the American divorc e who captured Prince Edward's heart before he abdicated his throne for Wallis Simpson.
The Letters of Franz Liszt to Olga von Meyendorff, 1871–1886
Franz Liszt
Dumbarton Oaks Research Library Collection
1979
sidottu
These letters of Franz Liszt are a part of the Dumbarton Oaks Collection bequeathed to Harvard University by Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss in 1969. Written during the last sixteen years of Liszt's life, they are addressed to the Baroness Olga von Meyendorff, who shared his interests, though not always his views, in a broad field of disciplines--music, philosophy, theology, politics, literature--as well as his concern for persons both prominent and familial.The translation by William R. Tyler, who from 1969 to 1977 was Director of Dumbarton Oaks, is provided with notes and an Introduction by Edward N. Waters, widely recognized authority on Liszt and formerly Chief of the Music Division of the Library of Congress.Composed with warmth and humor, and not infrequently with some asperity, the letters reveal Liszt to have been an ardent, generous, and modest man, loyal and devoted to family and friends, pupils and colleagues alike.Though it was first intended to publish the letters in their original French as well as in translation, the cost of such a publication proved to be prohibitive. However, copies of the letters, or, when necessary, the letters themselves may be consulted by qualified readers at Dumbarton Oaks.
