S/LI/12. Russian Lyric Poetry - 'Compare the treatment of love in the poetry of Akhmatova and Mayakovsky.'
- WORDS:
- 2500
- DATE:
- 2003
- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
Both Vladimir Mayakovsky and Anna Akhmatova have written large amounts of poetry based around love or anguish. In fact each poet is now known for their poems of love and tragedy, and so in comparing the two I must concentrate around some certain poems. These two poets both cast a similar image in my opinion, one of lost loves and desperate attempts to find love. When discussing about Akhmatova I shall be mainly looking at her early poetry, which seems to have a more obvious basis on love. Mayakovsky's early works again are very useful

S/LI/13. Analysis of the Russian Short Story 'Asya' by I.S. Turgenev
- WORDS:
- 2500
- DATE:
- 2003
- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
The short story, Asya is one of love and romance primarily, but also often delves into areas of naivety and of sadness due to pure stupidity and ignorance. Therefore I believe that Turgenev wrote this book straight from his heart, as a depiction of a too often occurring scenario. I feel that the point I have made of love and sadness is reinforced by the interpretation given by Joe Andrew: As in Asya, so too in all his works, love brings energy and excitement, but only for a brief moment1
KEYWORDS: li, russian, short, story, asya, i, turgenev,
