This stimulating collection of essays, mostly concerned with
subjects taken from Slavic literatures, is at once scholarly and
reflective. The volume opens with a true story, "Brognart," which
is a confession of the author's remorse based on conflict with
French intellectuals. "Science Fiction and the Coming of the
Antichrist" concerns Vladimir Solovyov. "Krasinski's Retreat" is
another return to the author's student readings, which attempts to
determine how a Polish romantic poet could write in 1833 a drama on
the approaching world revolution. "Joseph Conrad's Father" sketches
the biography of a poet and revolutionary and also throws some
light upon the fate of the hero of the last chapter.
