Unheimliche Geschichten: Charaktergemälde aus dem Ersten Viertel des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts

More about the book

Exploring themes of darkness and the human psyche, Fjodor Sologub's work delves into a world dominated by demonic forces, where individuals often embody their own worst fears. His poetry and prose intertwine love and death with a haunting surrealism, reflecting a symbolist approach. The narrative features characters like Wolodja, who experiences both fear and tenderness in moments of solitude. Sologub's writings, including stories such as "The Kiss of the Unborn" and "The Mourning Bride," showcase his unique blend of fantastical visions and political engagement.
