The Created Legend

di Sologub Fyodor (Autore)

Waking Lion Press, 2026

Hidden in the forest, the poet Trirodov attempts to secede from the troubled society of early twentieth century Russia to build his own utopia: a school for the quiet children he cares for. Nothing is ever that easy though, and his personal connections to the outside world tie him into the political whirlwind of agitators, factions and power struggles that threaten his solitude. The Created Legend portrays a stark contrast to the protagonists of Sologub's earlier work The Little Demon, even though the setting is the same town of Skorodozh. There, they varied from at best well-meaning to actively malignant; here the lead characters are idealistic, and isolate themselves from the trials of Russian society in an attempt to maintain their idealism. Trirodov sees beauty and mystery everywhere he looks, and (following the title) works to create his own legend. Part utopian fable and part political thriller, this early example of magic realism follows one man's quixotic attempt to build a sanctuary of idealism amid the turbulence of revolutionary Russia. In a provincial town a Russian poet draws himself away from society to create his utopia. The source for this public-domain ebook is Standard Ebooks (standardebooks.org).
