The story of the poet Osip Mandelstam, who suffered continuous persecution under Stalin, but whose wife constantly supported both him and his writings until he died in 1938. Since 1917 The Modern Library prides itself as The Modern Library of the World's Best Books. Featuring introductions by leading writers, stunning translations, scholarly endnotes and reading group guides. Production values emphasize superior quality and readability. Competitive prices, coupled with exciting cover design make these an ideal gift to be cherished by the avid reader. Of the eighty-one years of her life, Nadezhda Mandelstam spent nineteen as the wife of Russia's greatest poet in this century, Osip Mandelstam, and forty-two as his widow. The rest was childhood and youth." So writes Joseph Brodsky in his appreciation of Nadezhda Mandelstam that is reprinted here as an Introduction. Hope Against Hope was first published in English in 1970. It is Nadezhda Mandelstam's memoir of her life with Osip, who was first arrested in 1934 and died in Stalin's Great Purge of 1937-38. Hope Against Hope is a vital eyewitness account of Stalin's Soviet Union and one of the greatest testaments to the value of literature and imaginative freedom ever written. But it is also a profound inspiration--a love story that relates the daily struggle to keep both love and art alive in the most desperate circumstances.Binding Type: Paperback

Very shiny, very pointy
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I'm actually glad I oversized these a bit.
These are pointed oxfords with an interesting diamond or scale like pattern on them. Not typically my usual style but it is nice to switch it up every now and again. At an 11 they fit, though I am usually a 10.5 and there are rough bits on the inside I'll have to apply moleskine to. Not really bits that are rough for the shoe themselves, just parts where they don't fit my particular feet right. Other than those bits they were okay as far as comfortability. I wouldn't go walking super far in them or anything, but for a day at the office or for a restaurant or something like that they are perfectly serviceable.
I don't think they will hold up in the long term as I do see areas where the construction is a bit lacking. The padding in particular needs some work. I imagine I will be able to keep them around a bit longer with some glue re-application (this is easy to do, and generally if you are anything like me the sole tends to separate on shoes first).
Overall I think they are an okay value here. They aren't really comfortable enough for me to be a daily driver kind of shoe, but for a special occasion and to fit a particular outfit they are nice to have in rotation.

Stylish & Comfortable
Size: 10, Color: Black
These men’s dress shoes offer a sleek and modern look. I used them for formal wear, and they complemented the outfit nicely. The design is polished and professional. They stand out.
The fit is comfortable for extended wear. The materials feel durable and supportive. The sole provides good traction. That’s important.
They are versatile for both business and formal events. The finish holds up well over time. They maintain their appearance. Very reliable. Overall, these are stylish and practical shoes. They combine comfort with design. I would recommend them. Great value.

Stands out without shouting
Looks and feels high quality. Keeps time and date perfectly. A little small to get over bigger hands. Love the dail color.
