A new edition of the biography of Vladimir Mayakovsky for his 130th anniversary! Dmitry Bykov —... a prose writer, poet, journalist. The author of many novels and original biographies of Russian poets of the 20th century Boris Pasternak, Bulat Okudzhava, Vladimir Mayakovsky. Twice a laureate of the "Big Book" prize. According to Bykov, Mayakovsky is a classic example of a poet: superstitious to the point of mania, confident in his damnation and inappropriateness, loyal in camaraderie, jealous, envious, suspicious, passionate, uncontrollable, hysterical, disciplined. His life itself, manners, phrases — everything is aestheticized to the limit, sometimes to the grotesque, and the ideal poetic fate is built according to the high romantic canon.
