In the early twentieth century, Bely embarked on his life as an artist with texts he called "symphonies"-works experimenting with genre and sound, written in a style that shifts among prosaic, poetic, and musical. This book presents Bely's four Symphonies- Dramatic Symphony, Northern Symphony, The Return, and Goblet of Blizzards-fantastically strange stories that capture the banality of life, the intimacy of love, and the enchantment of art. The Symphonies are quintessential works of modernist innovation in which Bely developed an evocative mythology and distinctive aesthetics. Influenced by Russian symbolism, Bely believed that the role of modern artists was to imbue seemingly small details with cosmic significance. The Symphonies depict the drabness of daily life with distinct irony and satire-and then soar out of turn-of-the-century Moscow into the realm of the infinite and eternal. They conjure worlds that resemble our own but reveal elements of artifice and magic, hinting at mystical truths and the complete transfiguration of life. Showcasing the protean quality of Bely's language and storytelling, Jonathan Stone's translation of the Symphonies features some of the most captivating and beguiling writing of Russia's Silver Age"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Bely, Andrey,|d1880-1934|vTranslations into English. 700 1 Stone, Jonathan,|d1977-|etranslator. 700 1 Shostakovich, Dmitriĭ Dmitrievich,|d1906-1975.|tSymphonies (New collected works).|lEnglish. 700 12 Bely, Andrey,|d1880-1934.|tNothern symphony. 700 12 Bely, Andrey,|d1880-1934.|tDramaticheskai︠a︡ simfonii︠a︡. |lEnglish. 700 12 Bely, Andrey,|d1880-1934.|tReturn. 700 12 Bely, Andrey,|d1880-1934.|tGoblet of blizzards. 830 0 Russian library.
