About the author
Vladimir Mayakovsky
504 books628 followersVladimir Mayakovsky (Владимир Владимирович Маяковский) was born the last of three children in Baghdati, Russian Empire (now in Georgia) where his father worked as a forest ranger. His father was of Ukrainian Cossack descent and his mother was of Ukrainian descent. Although Mayakovsky spoke Georgian at school and with friends, his family spoke primarily Russian at home. At the age of 14 Mayakovsky took part in socialist demonstrations at the town of Kutaisi, where he attended the local grammar school. After the sudden and premature death of his father in 1906, the family — Mayakovsky, his mother, and his two sisters — moved to Moscow, where he attended School No. 5.
In Moscow, Mayakovsky developed a passion for Marxist literature and took part in numerous activities of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party; he was to later become an RSDLP (Bolshevik) member. In 1908, he was dismissed from the grammar school because his mother was no longer able to afford the tuition fees.
Around this time, Mayakovsky was imprisoned on three occasions for subversive political activities but, being underage, he avoided transportation. During a period of solitary confinement in Butyrka prison in 1909, he began to write poetry, but his poems were confiscated. On his release from prison, he continued working within the socialist movement, and in 1911 he joined the Moscow Art School where he became acquainted with members of the Russian Futurist movement. He became a leading spokesman for the group Gileas (Гилея), and a close friend of David Burlyuk, whom he saw as his mentor.
The 1912 Futurist publication A Slap in the Face of Public Taste (Пощёчина общественному вкусу) contained Mayakovsky's first published poems: Night (Ночь) and Morning (Утро). Because of their political activities, Burlyuk and Mayakovsky were expelled from the Moscow Art School in 1914.
His work continued in the Futurist vein until 1914. His artistic development then shifted increasingly in the direction of narrative and it was this work, published during the period immediately preceding the Russian Revolution, which was to establish his reputation as a poet in Russia and abroad.
Mayakovsky was rejected as a volunteer at the beginning of WWI, and during 1915-1917 worked at the Petrograd Military Automobile School as a draftsman. At the onset of the Russian Revolution, Mayakovsky was in Smolny, Petrograd. There he witnessed the October Revolution.
After moving back to Moscow, Mayakovsky worked for the Russian State Telegraph Agency (ROSTA) creating — both graphic and text — satirical Agitprop posters. In 1919, he published his first collection of poems Collected Works 1909-1919 (Все сочиненное Владимиром Маяковским). In the cultural climate of the early Soviet Union, his popularity grew rapidly. As one of the few Soviet writers who were allowed to travel freely, his voyages to Latvia, Britain, Germany, the United States, Mexico and Cuba influenced works like My Discovery of America (Мое открытие Америки, 1925). He also travelled extensively throughout the Soviet Union.
The relevance of Mayakovsky's influence cannot be limited to Soviet poetry. While for years he was considered the Soviet poet par excellence, he also changed the perceptions of poetry in wider 20th century culture. His political activism as a propagandistic agitator was rarely understood and often looked upon unfavourably by contemporaries, even close friends like Boris Pasternak. Near the end of the 1920s, Mayakovsky became increasingly disillusioned with the course the Soviet Union was taking under Joseph Stalin: his satirical plays The Bedbug (Клоп, 1929) and The Bathhouse (Баня, 1930), which deal with the Soviet philistinism and bureaucracy, illustrate this development.
On the evening of April 14, 1930, Mayakovsky shot himself.

اگر امروز چاره اي نينديشيم
:بعيد نيست فردا بگويند
زنده ياد سگ ولگرد
مایاکوفسکی شاعری انقلابی است و صدايش را بخاطر تشويق يا تهديد كسي عوض نمي كند همینطور برای وزن شعر
یکی از مشخصه ي اصلي اشعار ماياکوفسكي همین است كه حتي براي رساندن پيام اصلي،اگر وزن شعر هم سر ناساگاري داشته باشد از آن صرفنظر می کند تا کلامش بخاطر زیبایی،قدرتش را از دست ندهد
كجا هستم؟
در يالتا يا در شهر تولا؟
در مسكو يا شهر كازان؟
خيال ميكني ميتواني بفهمي ؟
!كور خوانده اي
مسافرت نيست، شكنجه ي جهنمي ست
براي هر سانتي متر خاك زمين و زندگاني
هزار نام كوچك و فاميل انتخاب كرده اند
از اين نام ها در ذهن ما
شلم شوربايي درست شده است
كه صد رحمت به ديگ آش سربازخانه ها

دیوانه
از فریادهای دردم شعر می تراشم
***
غمگینم
چونان پیرزنی
که آخرین سربازی که از جنگ برمیگردد
پسرش نیست

ستایش کار و سانتیمانتال گریزی - به قول خودش دوری از حال و هوای شمالی و اتخاذ روحیه ی اسپانیایی - توش کامل حس می شه. همچنین تصاویر زبانی غافل گیرکننده و جالبی از چیزها - مثلا کشتی ها و ... - عرضه می کنه و آدم رو به سمت خودش می کشونه. من رویکرد انقلابیش رو دوست ندارم - اینکه مردم آسوده رو به بدترین نحو می کوبه و تحقیر می کنه و به جاش مبارزان و جنگجویان و کارگران رو برجسته می کنه
متن ترجمه متن روونیه و من از زبانش خوشم اومد - البته گاهی استفادش از بعضی از لغات عجیب و نامفهومه
کمتر از تعداد انگشتان دو دست من با شعر مبهم درش روبرو شدم اما روراستی و سادگی و در عین حال ظرافت های بقیه ی اشعار تلخی اون ابهام ها رو کمتر می کنه. اشعاری که من بیشتر پسندیدم "ویولن و کمی عصبی"، "طرز برخورد با دوشیزه خانم"، "گوش کنید"، "چنین بود که من سگ شدم"، "صمیمیت تکان دهنده"، "شعری درباره ی اختلاف سلیقه"، "هیچ نمی فهمند"، "به شما"، "دوزخ عظیم شهر" و "بازی شگفت انگیز" بود

«گوش کنید...
شما اراذل خنگ و بیخاصیت،
که فکری جز خوراک و پوشاک ندارید،
هیچ میدانید که شاید
انفجار نارنجکی،
همین الان،
هر دو پای پترفِ سرباز را کنده باشد؟»

ترجمه شعر کار بسیار پیچیده و دشواری است و مهمترین عنصری که یک ترجمه از شعر را خواندنی میکند، شاعر بودن یا دستکم ادیب بودن مترجم است که به داوری من مترجم ارجمند، جناب شهاب چنین نیستند.
