Self-Knowledge: An Essay in Autobiography (Dream and Reality)
Самопознание. Опыт философской автобиографии
Written in 1940 and completed with additions until 1947, published posthumously in 1949. It is not a chronological autobiography but a 'history of the spirit and of self-consciousness': the sense of estrangement from the world, loneliness, freedom, rebellion, eros, conversion, revolution, exile, encounters with Blok, Bely, Ivanov, Rozanov or Bulgakov, and his vision of the end of history.
