Review: "Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) is acknowledged as one of the greatest of Russian poets." "Tsvetaeva wrote this extraordinary work, which she subtitled 'a lyrical satire', in Prague and Paris in the mid-1920s. Using the story known to us as 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin', she pits Art against Philistinism in a critique of all social search for material prosperity (including that of the Bolsheviks). Even for the innovative Tsvetaeva, this is quite a new kind of writing - an explosion of clashing sounds, voices and rhythms, fuelled by anger and bitter sarcasm. At the end the Piper, who stands for the magical power of Art, takes a terrible toll on the children of the town of Hamelin - neat, comfort-loving, hypocritical and reluctant to pay its debts."--Jacket.
