Liudas Gira (1884 1946) was a Lithuanian poet, writer, and literary critic. The early works borrowed from traditional Lithuanian folk songs, they idealize Lithuanian history and have features of romanticism. The poems also describe emotional, intimate experiences, they are melancholic and elegant. Later works of 1920s were influenced by symbolism and feature love and patriotism. The last works were produced under the Soviet influence, reflected the official Soviet propaganda, and conformed to demands of Socialist realism. These poems rejoiced Lithuania's conversion into a soviet socialist republic, praised the Soviet Union, and described heroic Soviet struggle against Nazi Germany. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 84
