The volume presents little-known works by F. Sologub: the novel about the joys and sorrows of love “Sweeter than Poison” (1912), published for the first time these days, and stories from two cycles that continue the intimate and lyrical theme: “The Book of Transformations” (1906–1908) and "The Book of Aspirations" (1901–1911). This volume is one of those that opens the forgotten pages of the legacy of the outstanding master of Russian literature, confirming the judgment of Alexander Blok about him: “In modern literature, I do not know anything more integral than the work of Sologub”The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.
