Burning Buildings
''Burning Buildings'' (full title: ''Burning Buildings. Lyric of the Modern Soul'', Горящие здания. Лирика современной души) is the fifth book by Russian Silver Age modernist poet Konstantin Balmont. It was first published in 1900 by the Moscow Scorpion publishing house and made its author famous across his country. The collection comprised 131 poems, most of them written in the autumn and winter of 1899 in the house of publisher and friend Sergey Poliakov.〔Makogonenko, Darya. — Life and Destiny. The Select K.D.Balmont. Moscow, Pravda Publishers. 1990. — ISBN 5-253-00115-8〕 The ''Burning Buildings'' second edition featured in an anthology entitled ''The Collection of Poems'' (Собрание стихов) which came out in 1904 in Moscow. The book's third edition was included into the ''Complete Poems'' (Moscow, Scorpion, 1908). Its fourth and fifth editions followed in 1914 and 1917, respectively.〔
==History==
As Balmont wrote in 1899, the whole collection has been created "under the spell of one single emotional wave" which turned his "life into a fairytale."〔
According to critic M.Stakhova, "The author saw his artistic mission in "discovering new amalgams of ideas, colours and sounds." His main ideology in those times revolved around the idea of creating "a lyric of the modern soul," the one with many facets, but also self-liberation and self-knowledge." He was looking for a new character, a "genius of Elements", a "superhero". Yet, sending the book to Leo Tolstoy, Balmont wrote: "This is but one long scream of soul - torn apart, lowly and, if you like, ugly. But I'll repudiate not a single page of it, not until I cease loving ugliness no lesser than I love harmony."〔
