A Man Came Out of the House... Prose, Poetry, Drama

Who is Daniil Kharms? He writes about himself: «I am a genius of fiery speeches. I am a lord of free thoughts. I am the king of meaningless beauties». His poems, stories, and plays not only have the ability to... astonish, amaze, inspire joy, and confusion; they also are able to reveal, in the words of Marshak, a «classical foundation» and harmoniously fit into the history and culture of the 20th century. In any case, the undeniable extraordinary talent of the author remains, as well as his amazing uniqueness — nothing similar has existed, exists, or is likely to ever exist, neither in Russia nor abroad. This edition includes widely known and beloved stories, poems, and plays by Daniil Kharms, as well as a variety of illustrative material: drawings by the author, photographs, autographs, and much more.
