Dmitry Merezhkovsky?

[S]

As part of a project I'm looking through a lot of Russian writers and came upon Merezhkovsky. I've never heard of him before but he is supposedly a very good writer and was influential as a symbolist in his age.

I really want to read his Christ, Anti-Christ trilogy but it seems nothing of his is translated (although one is supposed to be due next year). Just wondering if more enlightened members, or people from Russia, could give me some more thoughts about the writer, or his novels - I'm really curious as to why his perceived importance hasn't really translated - literally - well over the years.

Thanks!

Didn't you check the author's page? It seems there are many books of him either translated or written in English. Dmitry Merezhkovsky

I've only heard him to be a poet.
