From a southern seaside town in the 1930s to the center of the capital's intellectual and creative life—this is the path not only of the hero of a famous Italian film but also of the outstanding translator and poet Yevgeny Solonovich.
After graduating from the Institute of Foreign Languages in the 1950s, he immediately turned to the classics—Dante, Petrarch—and, quickly becoming "the leading authority on Italian poetry" in Russia, remains so to this day.
A student of the greats Ilya Golenishchev-Kutuzov and Sergei Shervinsky, he became a teacher himself: many translators graduated from his seminar at the Literary Institute, one of them being Mikhail Vizel, co-author of this book. In conversations with a younger colleague, Solonovich discusses the difficulties and subtleties of translation, recalls his childhood and evacuation, his first steps in the translation field, the daily life of this "fervent workshop" and trips to Italy, working with texts by Montale, Umberto Saba and Giuseppe Belli, his own poems—and everything that happened to him and the country over the nine decades of his life.
