First published in Russian in 1921 and never translated, Andrey
Bely's long narrative poem--considered to be one of the great
achievements of Russian Modernism--is translated to English here. A
poet, critic, philosopher, and novelist, Bely was a leading figure
among the Russian Symbolists, and The First Encounter is thought to
be his greatest work in verse. The poem is autobiographical and
reflects turn of-the-century Moscow with its mixture of entrenched
positivism and new spiritualistic trends, cultural variety and the
upheaval of the time. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.

Petersburg (1913, revised 1922) is the title of Andrei Bely's
masterpiece, a Symbolist work that foreshadows Joyce's Modernist
ambitions. For various reasons the novel never received much
attention and was not translated into English until 1959 by John
Cournos, over 45 years after it was written, after Joyce was
already established as an important writer. It was regarded by
Vladimir Nabokov as one of the four greatest "masterpieces of
twentieth century prose."
