About the book: 1959 / The second volume includes the works of A. S. Serafimovich from 1902–1906. Until mid-1902, the writer lived in the provinces and published mainly in provincial newspapers. With his move to Moscow in August 1902, Serafimovich’s literary connections expanded, he entered the circle of Moscow writers, and became an active participant in the Sreda literary association. The intense work at Courier, for which Serafimovich had to write notes and feuilletons almost every day, continued until July 1903. Since 1903, the main place for publishing Serafimovich’s works has been the publishing house of the Znanie partnership, which by this time was headed by A. M. Gorky. http://ruslit.traumlibrary.net
