Write a review on the article "List of works by Vladimir Mayakovsky"

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the List of works by Vladimir Mayakovsky

And yet. The street collapsed like a syphilitic's nose. The river is voluptuousness, spread in saliva. Throwing away the linen to the last leaf, the gardens obscenely collapsed in June.

Could you? . I immediately smeared the map of everyday life, splashing paint from a glass; I showed the oblique cheekbones of the ocean on a dish of jelly.

Bath. Table on the right, table on the left. Drawings hanging from everywhere and scattered everywhere. Comrade Foskin is in the middle sealing the air with a blowtorch. Chudakov goes from lamp to lamp, reviewing the drawing.

To you! . To you, who live for an orgy orgy, having a bathroom and a warm closet! Aren't you ashamed of those submitted to George to read from the newspaper columns?

Bribers. Door. On the door - "It is impossible without a report" Under Marx, in an armchair embracing, with a high salary, tall and smooth, sits an invested responsible.

Attentive attitude to bribe-takers. Is it possible to write about bribes to poets! Dear ones, we have no time. Can not be so. You who are bribe-takers, if only for this reason, do not, do not take bribes.

In a loud voice . Dear fellow descendants! Rummaging in today's petrified shit, studying the darkness of our days, you may also ask about me.

Naval Love. On the seas, playing, the destroyer rushes with the destroyer. Clings, as if to honey, a sedge, to a destroyer a destroyer.

That's how I became a dog. Well, it's completely unbearable! All as is bitten by malice. I'm not angry as you could: like a dog, the face of the moon is bare-headed - I would take it and howl everything.

Hymn to health. Among the thin-legged, liquid with blood, with difficulty turning the neck of a bull, on a well-fed holiday to the obese health of people from meat, I loudly cry!

Cheap sale.

Giveaway. Do I entangle a woman in a touching romance, do I just look at a passerby - everyone cautiously holds his pocket.

To all . No. It is not true. Not! And you? Darling, why, why? Well - I went, I gave flowers, but I didn’t steal silver spoons from the box!

Veil jacket. I will sew myself black pants from the velvet of my voice. Yellow jacket from three arshins of sunset. Along the Nevsky of the world, along its polished stripes, I will profil with the step of Don Juan and the veil.

Lilichka! . Instead of a letter, the smoke blew out the tobacco air. The room is a chapter in the Krunykhovsky hell. Remember - outside this window for the first time your hands, frenzied, stroked.

I love . Usually this is how Love is given to any born, - but between services, incomes and other things, the soil of the heart hardens from day to day.

Mom and the Evening Killed by the Germans. White mothers convulsively prostrated along the black streets, staring at the coffin. They wept at those shouting about the beaten enemy: “Ah, close, close the eyes of the newspapers!

scum. Hunger approaches the tonsils .. Only, as if at a feast, a gang of bribe-takers walks around, purses are spread wide.

Tired. Didn't sit at home. Annensky, Tyutchev, Fet. Again, guided by longing for people, I go to cinemas, to taverns, to cafes.

Nate! . In an hour, your flabby fat will flow out of here into a clean lane over a person, and I have opened so many verses of caskets to you, I am a wast and a spender of priceless words.

An extraordinary adventure that happened with Vladimir Mayakovsky at the dacha. Pushkino. Akulova Gora, Rumyantsev's dacha, 27 versts along the Yaroslavl railway. dor. In a hundred and forty suns, the sunset was blazing, summer was rolling in July, it was hot, the heat was floating - it was at the dacha.

unfinished . Loves? does not love? I break my hands and scatter my fingers, breaking them so they tear, guessing and letting corollas of oncoming daisies through May

They don't understand anything. He went to the hairdresser, said - calm: "Be kind, comb my ears." The smooth hairdresser immediately became coniferous, his face stretched out like a pear.

Night . Crimson and white were discarded and crumpled, handfuls of ducats were thrown into the green, and burning yellow cards were distributed to the black palms of the run-down windows.

A cloud in pants . Tetraptich (introduction) Your thought, dreaming on a softened brain, like a fat lackey on a greasy couch, I will tease about a bloody heart flap: I scoff to my fill, impudent and caustic.

Ode to Revolution. To you, booed, ridiculed by batteries, to you, ulcerated by the slander of bayonets, I enthusiastically raise a solemn “O” over the abuse of the ode!

From fatigue. Earth! Let me heal your balding head with rags of my lips stained with other people's gilding. With the smoke of hair over the fires of eyes made of tin, let me wrap the sunken breasts of the marshes.

Parisian. Can you imagine Parisian women with a neck with a pearly, brilliant hand... Stop imagining! Life is tougher - my Parisian looks different.

A letter to his beloved Molchanov, abandoned by him, as reported in No. 219 of Komsomolskaya Pravda in a verse called "Date". I heard that Molchanov left you, as if he undertook this, seeing that you don’t have a “fair” jacket in the fall.

Letter to Comrade Kostrov from Paris on the Essence of Love. Forgive me, comrade Kostrov, with the inherent spiritual breadth, that I will squander part of the stanzas allotted for Paris for lyrics.

Listen! . Listen! After all, if the stars are lit, it means that someone needs it? So - someone wants them to be? So - someone calls these spitting pearls?

Order by the Army of Art. The rigmarole of the old men of the brigade is the same rigmarole. Comrades! To the barricades! - barricades of hearts and souls.

Prosessed. As soon as the night turns into dawn, I see every day: who is in charge, who is in whom, who is watered, who is in the gap, the people disperse into institutions.

Sorry . me, comrade Kostrov, with the inherent spiritual breadth, that I will squander part of the stanzas allotted for Paris for lyrics.

Russia. Here I go, an overseas ostrich, in feathers of stanzas, sizes and rhymes. I try to hide my head, stupid, in the plumage ringing explosion.

To yourself, beloved. Four. Heavy as a blow. "Caesar's to Caesar's is God's." And for someone like me, where to stick? Where is my lair?

The Secret of Youth. No, not those "youth" who, huddled in the lawn and in the boat, begin to rinse their throats with screeching and clamoring, No, not those "youth" who, on good spring nights, crooked by the fashion of their clothes, sweep the boulevards with bell-bottoms.

Sergei Yesenin. You have gone, as they say, into another world. Emptiness... Fly, crashing into the stars. No advance for you, no beer. Sobriety. No, Yesenin, this is not a mockery.

The Tale of the Little Red Riding Hood. There lived a cadet in the world. The cadet was wearing a red cap. Apart from this cap, which the cadet got, there was not a damn thing red about him, and there isn't.

Violin and a little nervous. The violin twitched, begging, and suddenly roared so childishly that the drum could not stand it: "Good, good, good!"

It is impossible to imagine the 20th century without V. Mayakovsky. Mayakovsky was the most famous and talented futurist poet.

He turned to the genre of the poem: “A cloud in pants”, “About this”, “Good!”, “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin”, Flute-spine”, Man”, dramas: Plays "Bedbug" and "Bath".

His poems are lyrical through and through, in essence, they are expanded lyres. st.

In the poem About it”he turns to a scientist who in the distant future will be able to resurrect people, give them a new, clean, happy life:

In lyrical-epic poems " Good!" and "Vladimir Ilyich Lenin"Mayakovsky embodied the thoughts of a socialist man, a hero of his era.

"A cloud in pants". The original title of the poem - "The Thirteenth Apostle" - was replaced by censorship. Each part of the poem expresses a certain idea (4). But the poem itself cannot be strictly divided into chapters in which four cries are consistently expressed ("Down with your system, love, art, religion!"). The experiences of the lyrical hero capture different spheres of life, including those where loveless love, false art, criminal power dominate, Christian patience is preached. The movement of the lyrical plot of the poem is due to the hero's confession, which at times reaches a high tragedy.

First part of the poem- about the tragic unrequited love of the poet. It contains an unprecedented strength of jealousy, pain, the hero's nerves rebelled: "like a patient from the bed, a nerve jumped", then the nerves "jump furiously, and already the legs give way under the nerves." The author of the poem painfully asks: “Will there be love or not? Which one is big or tiny? The chapter reflects the emotions of the lyrical hero: “Hello! Who is speaking? Mother? Mother! Your son is very sick! Mother! He has a heart of fire." The love of the lyrical hero of the poem, and this leads him to deny love-sweet-voiced chant, because true love is difficult, it is love-suffering.

The theme of poetry dedicated to the third chapter. The lyrical hero declares his break with previous poets, with "pure poetry" .

Another "down with" the poem - " down with your system”, your “heroes”: the “iron Bismarck”, the billionaire Rothschild and the idol of many generations - Napoleon.

Through the entire third chapter the theme of the collapse of the old world. In the revolution, Mayakovsky sees a way to put an end to the hated system and calls for a revolution. The author of the poem sees the coming future, where there will be no loveless love, the bourgeois system and the religion of patience. And he himself sees himself as the "thirteenth apostle", the herald of the new world.

The theme of personal, unsurmounted shocks develops into a glorification of future happiness. The author is disappointed in the moral force of religion. The finale of the poem sounds not without the author's irony: the Universe does not hear the protest of the "thirteenth apostle" - it sleeps!

The poem is characterized by hyperbolism, originality, planetary comparisons and metaphors.

Plays "Bug" and "Bath" were written by the poet in one breath. They reflected heavy impressions of the discrepancy between the real Soviet reality and the author's utopian ideal. Setting as his goal the agitation of a contemporary, Mayakovsky raised "eternal" questions. The dramaturgy of recent years stands out sharply with realistic strokes, which are combined with satirical techniques of caricature and grotesque. The central figures here are the tradesman and the bureaucrat.

Main hero of the play "Bug"- the owner of a trade union card with aristocratic manners. Mayakovsky, with caustic irony, ridiculed the petty-bourgeois nature of Pierre Skripkin. The newly-minted aristocrat - "a former party member, a former worker" - constantly gets into trouble. The speech of the Soviet tradesman is full of ridiculous inconsistencies. The claim to education makes him turn to the language of civilized people, but the square abuse still betrays a dark inside. The highest goal for Prisypkin is petty-bourgeois well-being. Such a position was deeply alien to Mayakovsky. The poet dreamed of spiritual growth and moral purification of his contemporaries. According to the author, a catastrophe awaits those who choose the path of vulgarity and philistinism. And yet, "Klop" is not a forecast of the coming tradesman. On the contrary, fire frees humanity from it. But Mayakovsky is far from unclouded optimism. Resurrected fifty years later, Klop-Prisypkin immediately began to spread the infection of vulgarity. The author warned his contemporaries about the danger lurking in a seemingly innocent call for a "good life".

"Bath" FROM On the one hand, the play is called "Bath" - we do not find any bath there. FROM On the one hand, this is a drama, but on the other hand, “... with a circus and fireworks”, that is, just a farce, and not a drama at all. On the one hand, the entire conflict in the play is centered around Chudakov's "machine", but on the other hand, this machine is invisible, that is, as if it does not exist. On the one hand, it is as if we have a theater in front of us, but on the other hand, we also see a theater within a theater, so that the first theater is no longer a theater, but a reality. In the entire play as a whole and in each of its individual elements, we find a discrepancy between subject matter and meaning. The most abstract concepts here are reduced, materialized, materialized, and the most concrete objects, phenomena and even people are dematerialized up to complete disappearance.

The whole play as a whole is a metaphor. Lear. the core of "Bani" is the problem of time. The time machine in "Bath" is not just Chudakov's invention, but also a metaphor for innovation and creativity itself. She is plotted against another machine - the bureaucratic one. The culmination of the opposition of the two machines is Pobedonosikov's last monologue in Act VI. Why is it called "Bath"? First, "Bath" is a metaphor for cleansing laughter. Secondly, it is a metaphor for the purification of the creative, to which we come as a result of artistic comprehension of reality.

36. Block, cycles, poem "The Twelve"

As a poet, Blok was formed under the influence of the traditions of Russian classical literature. In his work, Alexander Blok reflected the essential features of a critical era. The reflection of the Russian revolution lies on his poems and poems.

Burning years! Is there thoughtlessness in you, is there any hope?

The thematic range of lyrics is wide - from the most intimate movements of the soul, from the sacrament of youthful love to philosophical generalizations and the historical path of the people.

Blok's early poems made up the first book published in 1904 - " Poems about the Beautiful Lady"multifaceted. These poems are symbolic, the mournful HERE and the beautiful THERE are contrasted, the holiness of the hero's ideals, the desire for the promised land, a decisive break with the surrounding life, the cult of individualism, beauty. The plot of the cycle is the expectation of a meeting with a beloved who will transform the world and the hero. The heroine, on the one hand, a real woman "She is slender and tall // Always arrogant and stern". On the other hand, we have before us the heavenly, mystical image of the "Virgin", "The Majestic Eternal Wife", "Incomprehensible". "He" is a lover a knight, a humble monk, ready for self-denial.“She” is the incorporeal focus of faith, hope and love of the lyrical hero.

The lyrical hero is shown in development

His second book, unexpected joy", made the poet's name popular in writers' circles. Among the poems are "The Stranger", "The Girl Sang in the Church Choir", "Autumn Wave".
Block's hero becomes an inhabitant of noisy city streets, eagerly peering into life. He is alone surrounded by drunkards, he rejects this world that terrifies his soul, looks like a booth, in which there is no place for anything beautiful and holy. The world poisons him, but a stranger appears amidst this drunken frenzy, and her image awakens bright feelings, it seems that she believes in beauty. Her image is surprisingly romantic and alluring, and it is clear that faith in goodness is still alive in the poet. Vulgarity, dirt cannot tarnish the image of a stranger, reflecting Blok's dreams of pure, selfless love. And the poem "Autumn Wave" became the first embodiment of the theme of the motherland, Russia in the work of Blok. Nekrasov's intonations appear in the poems - love for the motherland - love-salvation, the understanding that one's fate cannot be imagined in isolation from it.

After a trip to Italy in 1909, Blok wrote the cycle " Italian poems", in the spring of 1914 - cycle " Carmen". In these poems, Blok remains the finest lyricist, praising beauty and love.

Through the deepening of social tendencies (the cycle "City"), religious interest (the cycle "Snow Mask"), the comprehension of the "terrible world", awareness of the tragedy of modern man (the play "Rose and Cross") Blok came to the idea of ​​the inevitability of "retribution" (the cycle " Yamby"; the poem "Retribution"). Persistently and strongly expressed in Blok's work is hatred for the world of the "well-fed", for the ugly, inhuman features of life (the Terrible World cycle, 1909-16).

love lyrics Blok is romantic; along with delight and ecstasy, she carries a fatal and tragic beginning (sections of the cycle "Snow Mask", "Faina", "Retribution", 1908-13, "Carmen", 1914).

The theme of the poet and poetry. The idea of ​​the poet's freedom, his independence from public opinion, superiority over the crowd runs through all the early poems on the theme of creativity. poems “To Friends” and “Poets. “To the Muse” creativity is not a reward, but hard work, which often brings disappointment and dissatisfaction than laurels and joy. Inspiration is sent down by God, and you have to pay for any gift, and the poet pays with personal happiness and peace, comfort and well-being.

Blok considers the main theme of his work theme of the Motherland. From the first poems about Russia ("Autumn Wave", "Autumn Love", "Russia"), a two-faced image of the country arises - impoverished, pious and at the same time free, wild, robbery. During this period, the poet creates cycles of poems "Motherland", "On the field of Kulikovo." The ambivalent attitude towards Russia is especially vividly embodied in the poem "Sin shamelessly, soundly ...". Blok paints a realistic picture of contemporary Russia.
And under the lamp near the icon
Drinking tea, snapping off the bill,
Then flip the coupons
Pot-bellied opening the chest of drawers ...

But it ends with the words:
Yes, and such, my Russia,

You are dearer to me than all the edges.
The poet took a slightly different angle in his cycle “On the Kulikovo Field”.

The revolution of 1917 was reflected in the largest post-October poem " Twelve"(1918). It reflected both real events and the poet's views on history, the essence of civilization and culture.

The very beginning of the poem sets the reader up for the struggle; two worlds stand in sharp contrast - the old and the new, just born:

Black evening.

White snow.

Wind, wind!

A person does not stand on his feet.

Human passions and the raging elements act in unison, destroying everything obsolete, personifying the old way of life. As attributes of the old way of life - a bourgeois, a lady, and a priest:
There is a lady in doodle
Turned to the other...
We were crying, we were crying...
slipped
And - bam - stretched out!

And then, shaking off the fragments of the lost society, twelve people go. Who are they - builders of the future or cruel destroyers, murderers?

Blok used many symbols in his poem: names, numbers, colors.
The leitmotif of the poem arises from the first bars: in the break and opposition of "white" and "black". Black is a vague, dark beginning. White symbolizes purity, spirituality, it is the color of the future.

The image of Christ is also symbolic in the poem. Jesus Christ is the herald of new human relationships, the spokesman for holiness and purifying suffering. For Blok, his "twelve" are real heroes, since they are the performers of a great mission, they are doing a holy deed - a revolution. As a symbolist and mystic, the author expresses the sanctity of the revolution religiously. Emphasizing the sanctity of the revolution, Blok puts before these "twelve" the invisibly walking Christ.

Born on July 7 (19 n.s.) July 1893 in the village of Baghdadi, Kutaisi province (Georgia) in the family of a forester. In 1902 he entered the Kutaisi gymnasium. In 1906, after the death of his father, Mayakovsky moved to Moscow with his mother and sisters. He studied at the fifth gymnasium, at the Stroganov School, but did not finish anything. In 1908, he joined the RSDLP (Bolshevik) party, engaged in propaganda, worked in an illegal printing house, and went through two arrests. In 1910 he took up painting. He studied with Zhukovsky, then with Kelin, a year later he entered the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

Mayakovsky's first published poems appeared in the futuristic collection A Slap in the Face of Public Taste (1912). During 1912-1913. about 30 poems were published. These were mostly experimental poems, reflecting the search for their own poetic style. In 1913 he finished the tragedy "Vladimir Mayakovsky", which was staged in December of the same year at the Luna Park Theater in St. Petersburg and where he himself played the main role. There was a distinct departure from futuristic poetry.

By 1914, Mayakovsky (as he himself thought) reached the artistic and ideological maturity of the poet. He works hard, writes poetry, feuilletons, public articles about the new tasks of art. The main works of pre-October creativity were the lyrical poem "A Cloud in Pants" (1915) and the poem "War and Peace" (1915-1916).

October 1917. "To accept or not to accept? There was no such question for me. My revolution." Mayakovsky later wrote in his autobiography. The affirmation of a new life, its social and moral order, becomes the main pathos of his work, the affirmation of socialist realism in literature is connected with his poetry.

In February 1930, the poet joined the RAPP (Russian Association of Proletarian Writers). This act of Mayakovsky was condemned by his friends. Alienation and public harassment were exacerbated by personal drama (“the love boat crashed against everyday life”). Mayakovsky was stubbornly denied permission to travel abroad, where he was to meet with a woman (poem "Letter to Tatyana Yakovleva", 1928), with whom he intended to connect his life. All this led Mayakovsky to suicide on April 14, 1930, predicted in the tragedy "Vladimir Mayakovsky".

According to the All-Union Book Chamber, as of January 1, 1973, the total circulation of V. Mayakovsky's books was 74 million 525 thousand; his works were translated into 56 languages ​​of the peoples of the USSR and into 42 foreign languages.

Favorites:

"We have words to the most important

get into the habit, decay like a dress.

"I meet the early dawn with a dream:

"Oh, just one more meeting

concerning the eradication of all meetings!"

"The theater is not a reflective mirror, but a magnifying glass."

1906 - after the death of his father, the family moves to Moscow. Here Mayakovsky studies at the fifth gymnasium, at the Stroganov School, but does not finish anything.

1908 - joins the party of the RSDLP (b), engages in propaganda, works in an illegal printing house, is arrested three times, in 1909 he was imprisoned in solitary confinement in the Butyrka prison. A notebook of poems written in prison, selected by the guards and not yet found, Mayakovsky considered the beginning of literary work.

1910 - After being released from prison, he interrupts party work to "make socialist art".

1911 - Mayakovsky enters the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where he meets D. D. Burliuk, the organizer of the futuristic group "Gilea", who discovers a "genius poet" in him. Three years later, in February 1914, Mayakovsky, along with Burliuk, was expelled from the school for public speaking.

1912 - Mayakovsky debuts as a poet in the anthology "Slap in the Face of Public Taste", where his poems "Night" and "Morning" were published. It also published the manifesto of Russian cubo-futurists, signed by D. Burliuk, A. Kruchenykh, V. Mayakovsky and V. Khlebnikov. The manifesto proclaims a nihilistic attitude towards Russian literature of the present and the past: "Throw Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, etc., etc. off the steamboat of modernity. Kuzmin, Bunin, etc., etc., all they need is a dacha on the river. Such a reward is given by fate to tailors. However, contrary to the declarations, Mayakovsky highly appreciates Gogol, Dostoevsky, Blok and other writers who had a profound influence on his work.
