Lenin er Sathe Amar Sanglap O Onyanyo Kabita by Vladimir Mayakovsky [Hardcover]

"Lenin called him the 'Hooligan of Poetry.' Yet he was devoted to Lenin and socialism. Mayakovsky believed that a 'people's poet' must be a worker in the poetry factory. He was as rebellious and reckless in nature as in his poetry, often standing on tables while reciting poems or tearing pages into tiny pieces and scattering them. However, it's curious that the creator of poems about Lenin, socialism, and patriotism is hard to find in his love poems. In those, his love reached almost a level of self-centered madness. Is it a contradiction? Otherwise, why would Mayakovsky, who wrote a long poem criticizing Yesenin's suicide, choose the path of self-destruction himself?

To understand Mayakovsky's poetry, it's essential to comprehend the context of his poems. Keeping that in mind, this collection has been created. This book is not just a translated anthology of poems, but a comprehensive work on Vladimir Mayakovsky's poetry, including the context of almost all the poems and the playwright of the poet's life. Among these is Mayakovsky's longest poem, 'Vladimir Ilyich Lenin,' translated from the original for the first time, deserving special mention. All the poems, and the discussed references, have been translated and compiled from Russian by the distinguished translator Arun Som."

Mayakovsky's life and work indeed offer a fascinating blend of rebellion, devotion, and complexity.
