About Mayakovsky, like Pushkin, we know a depressingly little. Not because little is written about them. It’s just that these two thirty -seven -year -old poets are so multifaceted that – no matter how you write – you will not exhaust. Mayakovsky – what is he? Gorlan is a leader? Futurist – will it be? Subtle lyrics, vulnerable and defenseless? The poet’s soul turns before us as a magic crystal, but the facets of this crystal are painted with blood. The life of the great poet is always a tragedy, death is its last act.
Benedict Sarnov knows and loves Mayakovsky since childhood. Today he is perhaps the most authoritative specialist in his work. He writes brightly, preferentially, and Mayakovsky in his book appears to us different, unexpected – and very alive. Eight decades flowed from the date of death of the poet. But he is still with us. He is still interesting and we need.
The book is of interest among young readers, because it shows the poet through the eyes of an indifferent and many knowledgeable person.
The publication is dedicated to the 120th birthday of the poet.
