Description:Rarely have the innate qualities of a man's temperament and the times in which he lived meshed so well as in the life of Vladimir Mayakovsky. In 1912, he collaborated with the artist Burlyuk on the poem, "A Slap in the Face of Public Taste," that was to become the manifesto of the young Futurist movement in Russia - a movement Trotsky was later to characterize as "the presentment in art of the impending blast that was to discharge the social electricity accumulated in the air of the old pre-revolutionary society." By the time the Revolution came, Mayakovsky was already a mature poet. Many artists and writers sensed the inevitable approach of the Revolution, but no one was closer to it in spirit, no one welcomed it with more jubilant impatience, no one believed in it more dynamically than Mayakovsky. The impact of his vision and impassioned pleas for the protection of the revolutionary ideals was enormous. More than twenty-three million copies of his works have been sold in the fifty-one languages of the U.S.S.R. Today Mayakovsky is regarded throughout Russia as the most significant poet and playwright of the Revolution. The four plays in this volume - all in new and definitive translations - are prime materials for the understanding of Russia, its culture and its people.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
