"The Created Legend" by Fyodor Sologub, translated by John Cournos, is a Symbolist novel that explores the dichotomy between reality and imagination. Set against the backdrop of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the narrative follows two sisters, Elisaveta and Elena, who are drawn into the enigmatic world of Giorgiy Sergeyevitch Trirodov. Trirodov, a former academic, has retreated to a mysterious estate where he cultivates a colony of children and engages in esoteric pursuits. The sisters' curiosity leads them through a series of surreal experiences, including an underground passage and a greenhouse filled with exotic plants, symbolizing the transformative power of imagination. The novel juxtaposes the chaotic external world with the ordered, legendary realm created by the poet's metamorphosis. Sologub's work challenges the reader to consider the potential of beauty and imagination to reshape reality, suggesting that the world can be seen as a "chaste dream" if viewed through the lens of idealism. The narrative is rich with symbolism, inviting varied interpretations and reflecting the author's philosophical musings on the nature of truth and beauty.
