About This Item
("Floating Travelers," a novel) Octavo 20x13.5 cm., wrappers, 277pp. Cover design by Natan Al'tman. Kuzmin's novel narrates the story of a love triangle, based on his cohabitation with Sergei Sudeikin and his wife Olga Glebova, a complex homoerotic entanglement. Mikhail Kuzmin (1872-1936) was a poet, musician, and novelist, a prominent contributor to the Russian Silver Age of poetry. He was associated with Mir Iskusstva, ambiguous as a symbolist and celebrated as a decadent, but was particularly important in midwifing the birth of the Acmeist group of poets (Mandelstam, Akhmatova, Gumilev), emphasizing clarity and timeless realism. He managed to stay productive and unscathed through the Soviet years up to his death, just prior to the purges which took away all of his friends and associates and would have included him. No institutional holdings for this work found worldwide. This copy uncut, with covers fresh, interior pages fragile. A rarity.
