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.
