About the book: 2020 / This edition is the first and most complete collection of works of Venedikt Mart - the “damned poet”, friend of the Oberiuts and nerds, a legend of the avant-garde of the Far East, a morphine addict and an opiate addict, who went from being a regular at Vladivostok cabarets and drug dens in Harbin to being shot in Kyiv in 1937. Although V. Mart is usually considered a futurist, his rare collections of the 1910s and early 1920s, combining poetry and visionary prose, defy any definition. Later, V. Mart acted as a prose writer, the author of bright and exotic stories of the Far East, China and Japan, as well as the co-authored adventure novel “The Yellow Devil”. The vast majority of his works included in this collection have so far remained inaccessible to readers. The collection is provided with detailed comments and includes biographical materials, including the investigative file of V. March in 1937, facsimile publications, reproductions of covers and illustrations of the first editions. The “Tian-shi-ne Bottle”, the second volume of the collection, includes short stories, novellas and miniatures , created by V. Mart in the 1910s - 1930s. https://traumlibrary.ru
