About the book: year / The most prominent literary figure of the Silver Age, poet, prose writer, critic, memoirist, editor of almanacs and magazines, literary critic, revolutionary, creator of the doctrine about “mystical anarchism” and the beloved of A. Akhmatova and L. D. Blok - all these definitions are equally valid in relation to G. I. Chulkov (1879–1939). In this book, Chulkov appears as a master of mystical prose - from the early ultra-symbolist miniatures to the later adaptations of the "Golden Legend" of Jacob Voraginsky. The collection also includes a unique cycle of stories about people who, by the will of fate, found themselves in the midst of revolutionary upheavals in the 18th–20th centuries.
