On the whole, love comes with the speed of light;

It is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life.

Joseph Brodsky

1940-05-24 — 1996-01-28 · São Petersburgo

Joseph Brodsky was a Russian-American poet and essayist, Nobel laureate in Literature. His work is marked by erudition, formal complexity, and profound reflection on themes such as exile, time, memory, and the human condition. His poetry, often dense and challenging, engages with Russian and Western literary tradition, exploring the ambiguities of language and the search for meaning in a constantly changing world. His life, marked by exile and opposition to the Soviet regime, lends an autobiographical and resistant dimension to his literary production.
