Abstract

en_US
Pridworow Jefim Alexejewitsch became Demjan Bedny during the Russian Revolution. He became a fervent Marxist and was a founder of Pravda. This disintegrating East German paperback celebrates him, perhaps first of all with the frequent posters, cartoons, and photographs from his life and times, from his part in the Revolution to the time of war with the Nazis. His two autobiographies help to situate him in history. The reader interested in fables will find several things here. Three of the earliest pieces in this book are fables. Die revoltierenden Hasen; Spinne, Fliege und Biene; and Wolf und Lamme (14-16, with a following illustration for the last) treat freedom, the struggle for ideas, and the deceitfulness of the stronger. A later piece, Spinnen und Fliegen (56-57) is directed against the Russian Orthodox Church. The priests, like spiders, plunder the farmers like flies but get away with it because of the people's piety. Sei auf der Hut (113-14), subtitled Literatur-pädagogische Fabel, is not really a fable but a mockery of Krylov's fables, influenced as they are by La Fontaine. Die faschistische Krähe oder der Pseudopfau (121-22) is BF directed against the Nazis, with a good illustration. Alas, the cover has become separated from this cheap paperback.
