With his usual epigrammatic, acerbic wit and genius, Shklovsky pillories the bad writers, artists, and critics of his time, especially those who used art as a political or social tool. And at no time is Shklovsky better than when he insists with indignation and outrage that \"Art has always been free of life. Its flag has never reflected the color of the flag that flies over the city fortress.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs fresh and revolutionary today as they were when written nearly a century ago, these pieces promise to infuriate an English-speaking readership as much as the Russian one of the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Viktor Shklovsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564783855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564783851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2005","brand":"Viktor Shklovsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986961268991,"sku":"9781564783851","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b96c55a4-0c37-48b5-b948-92d0a504d174.jpg?v=1683286182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knights-move-viktor-shklovsky-9781564783851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
