Rezension zu „Pavel Florensky: A Quiet Genius “
"Avril Pyman brings to the biography of Pavel Florensky the experience of a lifetime's research on Russian culture of the early twentieth century. No one could be better equipped to write this first biography in English of a man whom the epithet 'polymath' fits like no other... Avril Pyman's book brings to the attention of English-language readers for the first time a neglected cultural figure of immense importance." Professor Emeritus John Elsworth, University of Manchester, UK, President of the International Council for Central and East European Studies"
