Nadezhda Mandelstam's "Memoirs" presents a broad panorama of the literary and social life of the Soviet era, particularly the Stalin era. Osip Mandelstam is the protagonist of this panorama. The poet's widow's account recounts his work, his friendship with Akhmatova, his house searches, two exiles, and his death in a Far Eastern camp.

The "Second Book," which covers literary and social life from the 1910s to the 1960s, is even more harsh, biased, and vicious than "Memoirs." It is not simply a recreation of Osip Mandelstam's biography and a preservation of his memory—it is the poet's widow's verdict on an entire country and an era.
