First edition of Fedor Sologub's The Kiss of the Unborn
First edition of the author's timeless short story collection. Octavo, original cloth. Translated and with an Introduction by Murl G. Barker. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Sologub's writing is both timely and timeless. He shares with his Russian predecessors an intense concern for man and the world. At the core of his work is a rejection of reality, a reality that he depicts as bestial, the creation of the demon in man. At the same time, however, he exalts the energy within the individual - the creative will - and is capable of creating escapist worlds of beauty, legends, and miracles.
