Ядро публикации – письма Е. Лившиц (1902–1987), вдовы Б. Лившица, ее близким друзьям – литературоведу А. Дейчу и его жене Е. Дейч-Малкиной (1919–2014). Эта эпистолярия хранится в РГАЛИ и охватывает более 20 лет начиная с 1967 года. Из комментариев и характеристик, которые Е. Лившиц дает людям и текстам, складывается образ эпохи и определенного литературного процесса, увиденных глазами тонкого ценителя и знатока. Публикацию предваряет предисловие П. Нерлера, составителя книги воспоминаний и писем Е. Лившиц, готовящейся в настоящее время к печати в редакции Елены Шубиной в издательстве АСТ.
At the core of this publication are letters written by E. Livshits (1902–1987), the widow of B. Livshits, to her close friends: literary critic A. Deich (1893–1972), whom she knew ever since her Kiev days, and his wife E. Deich-Malkina (1919–2014). Kept at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, this epistolary collection spans over 20 years, starting from 1967. Along with accounts of private circumstances, each letter contains accounts related to B. Livshits, Osip and Nadezhda Mandelstam, I. Nappelbaum, A. Shadrin, and others. At the same time, E. Livshits’ comments and descriptions of people and literary works are very lifelike and fascinating. On the whole, the reader gets a picture of the period and certain literary process, viewed by a sophisticated connoisseur rather than squinted at by an aging disenfranchised widow of an executed writer. The publication is prefaced by P. Nerler, who collected and prepared the book of letters and reminiscences of E. Livshits, to be printed by Elena Shubina Publishers (AST).
