A subtle lyricist, a truly religious poet of the Silver Age, who sang Holy Russia and the Russian North, Nikolai Klyuev also created heartfelt prose, saturated with juicy figurative language, rooted in secret layers of Russian and world culture. These are autobiographies, "lives," assessments of classics and contemporaries, thoughts about their creative fate as an artist, articles, reviews, visionary dreams, confessional letters, business papers. This edition for the first time with possible completeness presents the prose works of Klyuev, written by him from 1907 to 1937. For a wide range of readers.
