What is good and what is bad? 4th edition. Mayakovsky V.V.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky (1893-1930) was born in the village of Baghdadi, near the city of Kutaisi, in an impoverished noble family. In 1902, after the death of his father, Mayakovsky with his mother and sisters moved to Moscow. The move to the capital had a significant impact on the future poet. Here, having matured a little, he will get acquainted with the students-revolutionaries and will take an active part in revolutionary activities. Mayakovsky does not come to poetry immediately - in 1911 he enters the school of painting, sculpture and architecture, from where he was excluded three years later for public performances. For the first time, the poems of Mayakovsky were published in 1912 in the collection of footulist poets "Superior to the social taste."

Mayakovsky was a very bright and charismatic personality, freedom and originality were reflected in his work. The poet established his own laws of versification, he created his images and metaphors, rhymes, rhythm and size of the verse, invented new words (giraffes, animals, a dealership, evaporated, etc.) and even recorded his poems in a special way-not in a column, but not in a column, but "Laedener." The themes of Mayakovsky’s poetry are diverse: these are lyrical poems, satire, and civil lyrics. The poet considered creativity for children no less important: “My last hobby is children's literature. It is necessary to give children new ideas and new concepts of surrounding things. ”

Mayakovsky captivates his young readers from the first lines - he creates such bright and noteworthy images in his works for children. These are fairy tales from modern life (“History of Vlas, lazy and lobotryas”), and the instructive story “What is good and what is bad?”, And stories about distant countries (“This is my little book about the seas and about the lighthouse”), and An unusual journey through the zoo (“Whatever the page is an elephant, then a lioness”), and a guide to the professions (“who to be?”), And an instructive and fascinating description of how toys are made, how many people of different professions take part in this (“ Horse-fucker "). Mayakovsky illustrated most of his children's books himself.
