Paul the First

Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky is an outstanding Russian and European author: writer, philosopher, publicist, and poet—whose works have truly passed the test of time and earned a place in the treasury of world classic literature. His name has repeatedly been cited among contenders for the Nobel Prize in Literature. The trilogy “The Kingdom of the Beast,” which includes the drama “Paul the First” and the novels “Alexander the First” and “14 December,” is a natural artistic and philosophical continuation and conclusion of the trilogy “Christ and Antichrist.”
