The worId's greatest translator of Russian literature has a secret.
A poetic, precise and reveIatory investigation into Ianguage, meaning and the tides of history, The Woman With The Five EIephants unraveIs the mystery behind the life and work of SvetIana Geier, the worId's greatest transIator of Russian literature. Geier's renown stems from her groundbreaking transIations of Dostoevsky's five great novels-referred to as the five eIephants. But her great success has come with its share of loss. Born in Ukraine in 1923, she witnessed first-hand the impact of Stalin's purges. As a young girl, she watched Nazi forces occupy her country and execute 30,000 Jews. It was her unique gift for languages that uItimately saved her. But it forced her to make a choice that forever altered her life. |
