La traducción de estas ciento treinta y ocho cartas es un intento de dar a conocer mejor a la gran escritora rusa Marina Tsvietáieva (1892-1941). En ellas, Tsvietáieva va desvelando, paso a paso, a lo largo de diecisiete años, su vida en el exilio. Habla de sus pesares, de sus sueños y sus angustias... De sus alegrias tambien. Teje el relato de sus dias primero en los alrededores de Praga y luego en los suburbios de Paris. La narracion de esta "novela epistolar" comienza en Bohemia, a finales de 1922, con una Marina que aun esta por descubrir la vida del emigrante, y termina en junio de 1939, en visperas de su retorno a la Union Sovietica. A lo largo de todos esos años dificiles e inciertos, siempre conto con el apoyo cariñoso e incondicional de Anna Teskova, la destinataria de esta reunion epistolar. Teskova habia nacido en Praga en 1872 y se convirtio con el tiempo en una reconocida literata que trabajo incansablemente para acercar las dos literaturas que amaba: la rusa y la checa. Escribia, traducia, organizaba conferencias y veladas literarias. La cronica contenida en este libro es, sin duda, la historia de una amistad incondicional entre dos mujeres sensibles, pensantes, que poco pudieron hacer contra la fuerza de los acontecimientos politicos y sociales de su tiempo, pero es tambien la historia de los intelectuales rusos en el exilio. Es la cronica de un destino compartido. De una emigracion impuesta.
