The creative work by Dmitry Merezhkovsky (1865 – 1941), a great Russian writer and thinker, was a remarkable event in the world’s culture of the XXth century. During the soviet times his books were not available for the readers. The “return” of Merezhkovsky clashed with dramatic events of the contemporary Russian history, and the writer’s work help to understand their essence. It seemed like he had a gift of historical foresight.
The book by Y.V.Zobnin renews the story of Merezhkovsky’s unusual life by numerous documentary and artistic evidences, setting off historical facts against the myths about the writer. The author of the present edition used archive materials, little-known editions, as well as periodicals of the Silver and Golden Ages.
