Description

This one-volume collection of Andrei Bely's memoirs comprises selected chapters from the memoir books "At the Turn of Two Centuries" (1930), "The Beginning of the Century" (1933), and "Between Two Revolutions" (1934), in which the story of the formation of the writer's personality is dissolved into the vicissitudes of life and in which the cultural milieu becomes the main protagonist. Among the characters in the book are Bely's father, the well-known mathematician and professor at Moscow University N. Bugaev; his friends - outstanding scholars of that time - the biologist K. Timiryazev, the surgeon N. Sklifosovsky, the lawyer F. Plevako - as well as Andrei Bely's "friend-enemies" (as the author himself called his fellow writers) - Z. Gippius and D. Merezhkovsky, V. Bryusov and F. Sologub, K. Balmont and N. Gumilyov, V. Rozanov and L. Andreyev, N. Berdyaev and S. Bulgakov. Many pages of the book are devoted to Alexander Blok and Lyubov Mendeleyeva-Blok - the two "sides" of the love triangle whose third member was Andrei Bely himself.
