The key figure of Russian modernism, Akim Lvovich Volynsky, left the brightest mark on Russian literature and art of the Silver Age. Ahead of his time by 100 years, he anticipated modern Indo-European studies, the foundations of which he formulated in the outstanding work “The Hyperborean Hymn,” first published in this book. Tracing the roots of the origin of modern human civilization, A. L. Volynsky reconciled the Middle East with its Abrahamic monotheism and Indo-European Hyperborea, which he considered the birthplace of monotheism, not paganism. An outstanding literary critic, art critic and publisher of the magazine “Northern Messenger” in his articles sharply opposed positivism, fashionable at the turn of the century. In art and in the system of artistic thought, he went against the currents, looked for the incomprehensible Hyperborean ideal. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, especially those who are interested in the masterpieces of Russian philosophy, literature and art of the Silver Age.
