This book offers an anthology of one of the most important figures in 20th century Russian poetry, the founder of Russian Futurism and the most prominent of the Soviet revolutionary writers. In it, the reader will enjoy the most representative verses of Vladimir Mayakovsky, which offer a balanced and complete image of the author and his work. An indispensable anthology of a poet who felt misunderstood in his time; misunderstanding that at times ended up depriving one of the most interesting writers of Russian literature of due recognition.
