About This Item
New York: Richard Marek, 1979. Bicolor Boards. Very Good/Very Good. 8 5/8" Tall. In his long poem, CALICO FROM IVANOVO, translated here as IVAN THE TERRIBLE AND IVAN THE FOOL, Yevtushenko has, it seems to me, produced a kind of Soviet epic. This epic endeavour is traceable from the outset of his career and his "optimistic" perception of the original - and recoverable - humanistic revolutionary impulse finds here a distinctive historical and symbolic embodiment ... (It) is a complex dramatic reconstruction of Russian history, centring on the creation in 1905 of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk soviet, but moving in a fashion more impressionistic than chronological among various periods: those of Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Nicholas II and the abdication, and the 1905 Revolution - all this set against a background of the Russian folk epos, with its traditional character of Ivan the Fool." 95 pages, with (Introduction) and Notes. DJ has been scraped, nipped, and taped at upper rear; front boards have unidentifiable discoloration covering the upper right quadrant; text is clean and strong.
