The life of a genius is not measured by the average duration of human existence. Every passing day expands the boundaries of his immortality. The works of contemporaries give us the opportunity to better understand the greatness of genius. Genius is contemporary even after millennia. But one is the contemporaneity of Aristotle, another of Shakespeare, a third - of Marx. And hardly has the history of mankind known such a complete manifestation of Man with a capital letter, such penetration into the depths of the future, without leaving the real basis of the present, as was manifested in the work and personality of Lenin. 90 years have passed since his birth and only 36 years since his death, and the ideas of Leninism, the ideas of communism are increasingly becoming ideas of all working humanity, marking the path to the future.

A book that respects the scale of spiritual synthesis! Thirty years of condensation of the author's thought into one Main goal: relief compaction of the contours of the aesthetic sketch bequeathed by Marx and Engels. Double and triple casting and polishing of each fragment with theoretical significance for art and its precise incorporation into the logical structure of Marxism. Historical and conceptual analysis of the basic aesthetic concepts - from the idealistic formulation to the Marxist synthesis of their real content: theoretical substantiation of each aesthetic principle in view of the internal logic of Marxist philosophy. This approach elevates Friedlander above the narrow interpretation of the aesthetic ideas of Marx and Engels as an expression of their personal artistic judgments, devoid of theoretical significance; replacing them with the general principles of historical materialism or using them to confirm the statement that "we have yet to create a Marxist theory of artistic creativity" (M. N. Pokrovsky). Friedlander convincingly proves that the aesthetic theory of Marxism, although not formally completed and systematized, is one of the aspects of the overall revolutionary worldview of K. Marx and F. Engels, inextricably linked to their common principled party position" (4).

The great poet resembles the sea: the more the diver enters into it, the deeper it becomes, the more wonderful and unsuspected beauties its depths reveal. We experience the same feeling when we want to stir up that wonderful peace of ideological and artistic values ​​that we call the poetry of Hristo Smirnenski. Four decades ago, the "discoverer" of Smirnenski as a poet and his first enthusiastic critic - Georgi Bakalov wrote about him: "He was a poet. A true poet. A juicy poet, as they say. A poet who is rarely born... There is no other poet in our country after Botev as popular among the masses as Smirnenski. The names of the two Hristovtsi are inseparably linked in the consciousness of the masses. Inseparable in immortality.
