Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of Symbolism and radical political thought in early 20th century Russia, this collection of essays delves into the aspirations of poets, philosophers, and mystics who envisioned a transformative upheaval against tsardom. Influenced by figures like Vladimir Solovyov and Friedrich Nietzsche, these intellectuals faced a clash between their ideals and the harsh realities post-1905 Revolution. The essays also highlight how psychoanalysis emerged as a vital alternative for these thinkers, appealing to those interested in Russian literature and the origins of Eastern European psychoanalysis.
