Janko Lavrin, a scholar of Slavic literature and culture, traces the grand trajectory of Russian letters from the golden age of Alexander Pushkin's romantic lyricism through the revolutionary modernism of Vladimir Mayakovsky, illuminating the social, political, and intellectual forces that shaped each successive generation of writers.\n\nLavrin's prose is measured yet impassioned, weaving together biographical portraiture and critical analysis to reveal how literature both reflected and drove the seismic transformations of Russian society. This study situates towering figures — Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, and others — within a living continuum of ideas, arguing that Russian literature is not merely a record of individual genius but an organic, evolving expression of a national consciousness. A landmark work of comparative literary criticism, it leaves the reader wondering: what does it mean for a literature to survive — and ultimately transcend — revolution itself?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130982342875,"sku":"2026200012580-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/219935a0-162b-4eef-9e6b-4beabe0c36ac.png?v=1786593616","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012580-secondhand-from-pushkin-to-mayakovsky-a-study-in-the-evolution-of-a-literature","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
