Title: Zvenia. Izbrannye Stikhi, 1890 - 1912 (Links. Selected Poems, 1890 - 1912)
Description: Moskva (Moscow), Skorpion, 1913. First Edition. First edition; 7 3/4 x 4 3/4; pp. [17], 8-279, [20]; light-brown, pictorial wraps, printed and illustrated in red in a beautiful Avant-garde design; chip to tail of spine with small loss of paper; a few small nicks to fore-edge of wraps; faint, censorship stamp to back wrap; overall in very good condition. An anthology of Konstantin Balmont's (1867 - 1942) creativity, arranged in a strict chronological order by himself, it followed his path to fame - from his first tentative attempts at poetry through the first decade of the 20th century - in his own words: "From gem to gem..from verse to verse..from link to link..from one mystery to another.." One of the most renowned poets of the first generation of Russian Symbolists and a major figure of the Silver Age, Balmont was also an accomplished translator and polyglote, translating the works of numerous German, American, British, and French authors. Very good .
