This book is the first separate edition of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky's literary-critical essay on Alexander Alexandrovich Blok (1880–1921), a defining poet of the Russian Silver Age. Published in 1924 by the A. F. Marks publishing house in Petrograd (soon to be renamed Leningrad), this work appeared just a few years after Blok's death, capturing early critical and personal reflections from a fellow literary giant. Chukovsky, already renowned as a critic, translator, and later children's writer, approaches Blok not only as a profound poetic phenomenon but also through the lens of personal acquaintance and shared cultural milieu. The essay is characteristic of Chukovsky's lively, insightful, and psychologically nuanced style of criticism. As a contemporary portrait by a masterful observer, published in the immediate post-revolutionary period with a modest print run, this volume is a valuable primary source for understanding the early reception of Blok's legacy and the intellectual climate of 1920s Russian literary criticism.
