Carl R. Proffer (1938-1984) with his wife Ellendea Proffer (b. 1944) were American publishers and translators of Russian literature, and the founders of Ardis Publishing, the largest publishing house devoted to Russian literature outside of the Soviet Union (1971–91). They were the first ones who welcomed Joseph Brodsky to the USA after he was exiled from Russia. Through Ardis, Brodsky said, the Proffers had done for Russian literature what Russia could not do for itself. This book is the Ellendea Proffer`s memoir about Brodsky.
