Creativity
Petnikov’s early books are in line with moderate futurism, they combine Khlebnikov’s adherence (including interest in Russian folklore ) with the influence of romanticism (it is no coincidence that Petnikov translated Novalis at the very beginning of his career):
But you're still a nomad |
It was Petnikov who Khlebnikov passed on the title of Chairman of the Globe . However, in the works of Petnikov, starting from the 1930s, there is no trace of futurism: this is quite ordinary Soviet poetry.
Petnikov also did a lot of literary translation: in the 1920-1930s. - mainly of German poetry ( Rilke , Werfel , Ehrenstein , Game and other expressionists), later - myths of Ancient Greece, Ukrainian folk tales, in 1937 he translated the tales of the Brothers Grimm repeatedly reprinted, etc.
