Résumé:

"This richly illustrated anthology brings together Bakhtin's celebrated analysis of 'carnival culture'; reflections by painter and stage designer Leon Bakst and film director Sergei Eisenstein; and major texts by Babel and Bulgakov, Mayakovsky and the Mandelstams, Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva, Nabokov and Pasternak, as well as many works by less well-known, but equally talented figures. Supporting or subverting the Soviet regime, baldly realistic or boldly experimental, they capture the essence of an astonishingly fertile and stimulating literary era."--Jacket.
