4 MARCEL, GABRIEL. “Introduction.” In Correspondance d’un coin à l’autre, by V. Ivanov and M. O. Gerschenson. Précédée d’une Introduction de G. Marcel et suivie d’une Lettre de V. Ivanov à Ch. Du Bos. Traduction du Russe par Hélène Isvolski et Ch. Du Bos. Paris: Editions Roberto A. Corrêa, 9—23.
In French. An introduction to the publication in book form of the French translation of Perepiska iz dvukh uglov [A correspondence from two corners], first printed in Vigile (1930). Compares the correspondence to a musical cantata for two voices that draw out and complement each other. Paraphrases the views expressed in the exchange, emphasizing throughout the theme of the individual’s relation to religion. Ivanov’s universe is compared to a spiritual landscape with more dimensions than that of Gershenzon. See also Marcel, 1931.5.
5 MARCEL, GABRIEL. Review of Vigile, no. 4. La Nouvelle Revue Française (Paris) 36, no. 212 (May): 788—90.
In French. Review of the issue of Vigile that carried the French translation of Perepiska iz dvukh uglov [A correspondence from two corners] (1930). The review focuses on two important texts in the issue, the first of which is Ivanov’s correspondence with Gershenzon, defined as a debate “sur le problème obscur et passionant des racines métaphysiques de la culture.” Its particular resonance is due to the proximity of the revolution, bringing in its wake the irrevocable destruction of cultural treasures.

German reader with the main outline of Ivanov’s literary development and works, emphasizing those available in German.
