Description
Andrei Yakovlevich Sergeyev (June 3, 1933, Moscow, USSR — November 27, 1998, Moscow, Russia) — Russian poet, prose writer, translator.
Graduated from the Moscow Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages (1958). As a translator of poetry from English, he published since 1959, earning a reputation as one of the largest masters of poetic translation and a leading specialist in 20th-century English-language poetry.
Sergeyev’s prose (first published in 1990) breaks down into two main parts: ironic-absurd mini-prose (Sergeyev himself called these texts “little stories”) and memoir prose, partially devoted to prominent literary figures with whom Sergeyev closely interacted (to Nikolai Zabolotsky, Anna Akhmatova, Joseph Brodsky—who dedicated several significant poems to Sergeyev, and others), but mainly describing the everyday life and customs of the 1930s–50s. From the memoir chapters characterized by keen observation and meticulous accuracy, Sergeyev composed the composition-mosaic text “Album for Stamps” (1995), marked by the Booker Prize.
