Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) was one of the greatest American poets of the 20th century. After graduating from law school in New York, he served most of his life in the insurance company of Hartford, his poetry did not advertise, published in small avant-garde magazines. Debut collection "Fisgarmony" (Harmonium) poet published only in 1923, at the age of 43 years. This book combined philosophizing and sensuality, romantic cult of imagination and decadent fracture, impressionism and acute enjoyment of the sound of the word. Instant fame was not awarded to the author: Stevens appreciated only a few poets close to his spirit (Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams), most critics thought the language of the poet too "dark", "deliberately eccentric". Recognition, prestigious literary awards, the status of the favorite poet of the intellectual elite will come to Stevens after more than twenty years. But of the dozens of books he published during his lifetime, the most important will remain exactly "Fisgarmony", published almost simultaneously with such masterpieces of European modernism as Eliot's "Barren Land" (1922) and Pasternak's "Sister My Life" (1922). In the proposed edition, this book (in an expanded 1931 version) is published in Russian in its entirety for the first time. For a wide range of readers.
