Edward J. Brown presents a rigorous and deeply researched portrait of a poet who placed his extraordinary talents in the service of radical political transformation, only to be consumed by the very forces he championed. The narrative uncovers the tensions between Mayakovsky's fiercely individual artistic vision and the demands of Soviet ideology, tracing how propaganda, romance, and creative genius collided in his work and life. Brown argues with scholarly authority that Mayakovsky remains one of the most significant and tragic voices of the twentieth century, a man whose suicide in 1930 marked the end of an era of revolutionary idealism in Russian letters. Written with both critical precision and biographical intimacy, this study is essential reading for anyone interested in Russian literature, modern poetry, or the complex relationship between art and political power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888010014939,"sku":"2026200009541-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1c60b43d-d827-40b2-b0a1-51b83791fd72.png?v=1781752514","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009541-secondhand-mayakovsky-a-poet-in-the-revolution","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
