{"product_id":"9780141920900","title":"Yevtushenko: Selected Poems: Selected Poems","description":"This volume contains a selection of early works by Yevgeny Alexandrovich Yevtushenko who blazed a trail for a generation of Soviet poets with a confident poetic voice that moves effortlessly between social and personal themes. ‘Zima Junction’ vividly describes his idyllic childhood in Siberia and his impressions of home after a long absence in Moscow. Private moments are captured in ‘Waking’, on the joys of discovering the unexpected in a lover, and ‘Birthday’, on a mother’s concern for her son, while ‘Encounter’ depicts an unexpected meeting with Hemingway in Copenhagen. ‘The Companion’ and ‘Party Card’ show war from a child’s eye, whether playing while oblivious to German bombs falling nearby or discovering a fatally wounded soldier in the forest, while Yevtushenko’s famous poem, ‘Babiy Yar’, is an angry exposé of the Nazi massacre of the Jews of Kiev.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147944870128,"sku":"9780141920900","price":10.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141920900_p0.jpg?v=1763655755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141920900","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
