The First Volume in the Novel of a Thousand of Volumes

Almaty, KZ, 2019

 

The first book of Sergey Kalmykov’s texts published in Kazakhstan

This book opens a multi-volume project devoted to the texts and drawings of the Soviet and Kazakhstani artist, writer, inventor, and visionary Sergey Kalmykov (1891–1967).

​

The first volume, compiled by Alexandra Morozova, brings together Kalmykov’s key theoretical writings on practical genius, a selection of speculative and science-fiction essays, as well as his foundational “Eight Laws of Composition,” which form the basis of his artistic and philosophical method.

​

The publication was produced as part of a joint project by ORTA and Vlast Publishing House, within a broader initiative to manifest Sergey Kalmykov’s literary practice. All texts were provided by the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
