Edited by Bengt Jangfeldt, the letters, telegrams, and notes gathered here present an intimate portrait of a man consumed by revolutionary fervour and romantic anguish in equal measure, his raw, impassioned prose mirroring the bold, declamatory voice that made him the defining poet of the Soviet avant-garde.\n\nBeyond the personal drama, this collection illuminates the extraordinary cultural and political landscape of early twentieth-century Russia, where artistic innovation and ideological upheaval were inseparable. Mayakovsky's correspondence with Brik illustrates the impossible tensions between the public revolutionary and the desperately private lover, between commitment to a cause and surrender to desire. Jangfeldt's authoritative editorial framework provides essential historical context, making this volume an indispensable document for anyone drawn to Russian literature, modernist poetry, or the enduring human question of what it costs to love absolutely — a question Mayakovsky answered, in the end, with his life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203390939355,"sku":"2026200013577-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e87b3003-4464-44cb-b6b6-5195b226f182.png?v=1788148310","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013577-secondhand-love-is-the-heart-of-everything-correspondence-between-vladimir-mayakovsky-and-lili-brik-1915-1930","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
