<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A key text in the history of gay literature, <i>Wings</i> was published in 1906 to the scandalized reaction of contemporary society and the generations which followed. Its central theme of aestheticized sensuality has drawn comparisons with the work of contemporaries Oscar Wilde and Andre Gide. The young Vanya Smurov is deeply attached to his mentor, Dr. Larion Stroop, and to the world of Renaissance art which the latter reveals to him. Initially appalled by the sudden discovery of Stroop's homosexual leanings, Vanya abandons him to pursue a "normal" heterosexual existence. In turn disgusted by ensuing encounters, he returns to Dr. Stroop and accompanies him to Italy where he begins his real education--both in the world of art, and that of hedonism.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mikhail Kuzmin (1872-1936) was one of the great poets of the Russian Silver Age.
