Sobranie sochinenii. Tom 2: Biografiia - Shklovskii, V,

This volume opens the collection of works of the bright writer, literary critic, film critic and screenwriter V.B. Shklovsky (1893-1984). Paradoxical style of thought, aphorism of writing, unique intonation made this author an interesting witness of the era, a subtle researcher of artistic language and at the same time - his innovator. The task of this fundamentally new composition of the collection is to show all the richness of Shklovsky's diverse literary heritage. Little-known, archival and never republished texts are introduced into circulation. On the first volume there are more than 70 such works. The conceptual core of this volume is the historical figure of the Revolution, permeating the autobiographical and theoretical texts of Shklovsky, his letters and reviews, his struggle for a new artistic form and new forms of everyday life, his articles about literature and film. The second volume (Figure) will be devoted to the memoir-autobiographical dimension of Shklovsky's work.
