Pro Eto = That's What

"Nearly eight decades after his death, the poet and playwright Vladimir Mayakovsky still remains one of the towering figures of Russian literature. His long poem, Pro Eto, written in 1923, is a largely autobiographical work in which love, passion and politics intertwine, presented here in a powerful new translation. This bilingual volume also contains Alexander Rodchenko's extraordinary photomontages, reproduced in colour for the first time in a British edition, which run throughout the text and illuminate Mayakovsky's narrative." --Book Jacket.
