Lev Losev's book about Joseph Brodsky was first published in 2006 and immediately became a significant cultural event. It is impossible to reduce the biography of such a singularly gifted poet to a collection of more or less well-known facts.

Joseph Brodsky's life and literary career are inseparable; their mutual influence is undeniable. The dramatic turns in the poet's life were determined primarily by his desire for creative freedom. Lev Losev's connection with Joseph Brodsky went beyond long-standing friendship: Losev translated his essays and was a researcher and commentator on his poetic legacy. Lev Losev subtitled his book "An Attempt at a Literary Biography," combining biographical material with various aspects of Brodsky's creative life, addressing the origins of his poetics, his ethical and aesthetic credo, the influence of literary tradition, and so on. Brodsky emerges not only as an exceptionally courageous man but also as an original thinker and an outstanding master of words.

The publication includes an illustrated insert.
