Maloe sobranie sochinenii - Maiakovskii Vladimir

This edition includes the most significant works of Vladimir Mayakovsky, an outstanding poet of the 20th century, one of the leaders of the Russian avant-garde. M. Tsvetaeva called him "the world's first poet of the masses... the first Russian poet-speaker." Mayakovsky, who "equated the pen to the bayonet," became the voice of the revolution and a symbol of the Soviet era. But, like any great poet, Mayakovsky outgrew his time: his work - no matter how controversial it is today - is in demand by new generations of readers, his life in art was long.
