About the book: 2014 / Twenty years ago, the correspondence of V. Mayakovsky and L. Brik was first published. The book “Love is the Heart of Everything” was sold out in an instant. This publication is a complete version of the correspondence between the great poet and his muse. The love story of Lily Brik and Vladimir Mayakovsky is a story of love-illness. It’s not without reason that they say “genius is not without blemish”: many famous people used doping. Some drank, some took drugs, for Mayakovsky the only possible dope was love. Lilya Brik took Mayakovsky away from her own sister, brought him into the family, and until the poet’s death the three of them lived together: Lilya and Osip Brik and Mayakovsky . Their relationship had everything: from the tender confessions that Vladimir wrote to his beloved, to the betrayal that Lilya decided to do in order to keep the poet. Women and men, affairs on the side and bright romances, meetings and partings... One can only guess what really guided their feelings and actions, but one thing is certain - the love of Mayakovsky and Brik is one of the brightest and most beautiful love stories XX century.
