Блуа Поэмы в прозе

Leon Blois (1846–1917) – a French writer and publicist of the "end of the beautiful era", at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, – left a vast literary heritage consisting of novels, stories, polemical articles in the press,... several volumes of diaries, as well as miniatures. All his texts combine a rare stylistic sophistication, whimsical proto-surrealist imagery, and a fervent Catholic piety worthy of a medieval mystic. At the center of a small collection of prose poems, virtuously translated into Russian by Alexander Chernoglozov, is a unique calendar of the month, twelve vision-poems composed by Blois inspired by a calendar designed in the Art Nouveau style by his contemporary, engraver and designer Eugène Grasset (1845–1917).
