A. M. Remizov (1877–1957) seemed like a small and timid person, often hiding from life behind ridiculous jokes, against the backdrop of the modernist bohemia of the early last century. However, each book of this extremely prolific writer revealed the unexpected resources of his creative nature, amazed his contemporaries with the novelty of artistic forms, the depth of his worldview and the scale of self-disclosure of the author’s “I”. In her new study, Elena Obatnina considers Remizov’s half-century creative path as a direct expression of his unusually gifted, innovative and internally free personality. The writer appears as the demiurge of unique artistic worlds that arose in the process of various creative practices. Creative experience turns out to be the result not only of persistent, daily literary work, but also the product of a special lifestyle based on the constant search for new meanings of life through unique experiments in the field of literary life, myth-making and even dream-making. The book is addressed to philologists and cultural experts, as well as to all those who are interested in the phenomenon of the creative personality of the Silver Age.
