Synopsis

ALEXANDER BLOK (1880–1921) is the greatest Russian poet after Pushkin and perhaps the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language. This volume consists of translations of three collections of Blok’s verse: Ante Lucem (1898–1900), Verses about the Beautiful Lady (1901–1902), and Crossroads (1902–1904). These poems describe Blok’s visions of Sophia, the Beautiful Lady, who appeared to him at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. Sophia is the mysterious feminine principle behind all creation; Blok calls her the Mysterious Maiden, the Empress of the Universe, the Eternal Bride, and he sees her in the blue sky and the sky full of stars as well as in the dawns and sunsets of Russia.

À propos de l'auteur

“Boris Jakim gives us masterful English versions of the early lyrics of Alexander Blok. His translations manage to capture the rhythms and music of this greatest of Russian symbolist poets. There are none better in English.”—RICHARD PEVEAR, translator of War and Peace and The Brothers Karamazov

"Alexander Blok, like so many of the truly admirable Russian literary figures of his generation, has received in the West nothing like the attention he merits. Boris Jakim has rendered an inestimable service to English-speakers with this limpid, lucid, and faithful translation.”—DAVID BENTLEY HART, author of The Experience of God and Atheist Delusions

“By presenting these three collections in their entirety in a translation of great precision and clarity, Boris Jakim empowers readers without Russian to undertake a serious exploration of Blok’s imaginative world.”—PAUL VALLIERE, author of Modern Russian Theology and Conciliarism

BORIS JAKIM is a leading translator of Russian philosophy and literature. He has translated books by S.L. Frank, Pavel Florensky, Vladimir Solovyov, Sergius Bulgakov, and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
