Valerii Briusov.Bud' mramorom - Molodiakov Vasilii Elinarkhovich

The name of the great Russian poet Valery Bryusov (1873 - 1924), the leader of symbolism and reformer of literature, is known to every educated person, but his biography appears for the first time. The book contains a shrewd analysis of life and creative conflicts fused into a fascinating "life-making" text. An inspired poet and demanding master, a wise teacher and eternal disciple, mystic and rationalist, imperialist and Bolshevik, Bruce-man appears before the reader in all its "hundred-shaped essence." Literary works, memoirs, diaries, letters of Bruce and his contemporaries, friends and enemies, served as the author material for a critical biography, in which a true portrait of a unique creative personality is formed from a mosaic of facts context of an era plentiful of dramatic events.
