Marina Tsvetayeva was living in exile in France and struggling to get by. Boris Pasternak was in Moscow, trying to come to terms with the new Bolshevik regime. Rainer Maria Rilke, in Switzerland, was dying. Though hardly known to each other, they began to correspond, exchanging a series of searching letters in which every aspect of life and work is discussed with extraordinary intensity and passion. \u003ci\u003eLetters: Summer 1926\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader into the hearts and minds of three of the twentieth century's greatest poets at a moment of maximum emotional and creative pressure.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBoris Pasternak\u003c\/b\u003e (1890-1960), the poet and author of \u003ci\u003eDoctor Zhivago\u003c\/i\u003e, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarina Tsvetayeva\u003c\/b\u003e (1892-1941) was a Russian poet and memoirist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRainer Maria Rilke\u003c\/b\u003e (1875-1926) achieved fame with his \u003ci\u003eDuino Elegies\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLetters to a Young Poet\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Sontag\u003c\/b\u003e (1933-2004) was a novelist, playwright, filmmaker, and one of the most influential critics of her generation.
