Sulamyth

by Alexander Kuprin, Maria K., Gev Sweeney

Overview

Come away to Ancient Jerusalem in the time of King Solomon - a city of great splendor and great squalor, of many gods and goddesses, of paupers and kings. Behold the beating heart of the Middle East, whose economic and political affairs reach far and wide and impact lands hundreds of miles away.

Barbarism and wisdom. Lust and love. The most senseless violence and the most exquisite wisdom. Joined together in Alexander Kuprin's brilliant "Sulamyth" translated by Maria K.. The Song of Songs retold in a way you have never seen before.

About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin (1870 – 1938) was a Russian writer known for bringing up topics that were considered scandalous and indecent, from marital issues to the fates of Russian prostitutes. While many romantic writers safely confined their storylines to high society, Kuprin ran a full gamut of characters, including his fellow pilots and explorers, as well as circus performers, actors, children and animals.
