«Я слишком люблю литературу, предан ей всецело, живу только для нее»: неизвестный автобиографический текст Владимира Ленского

In 1909, the German-born Russian poet and translator Fedor Fiedler edited a collection of short autobiographies from various contemporary Russian writers. However, not all of the autobiographies submitted to him were included in the final volume, which was published in 1911. Notably absent from this publication is the contribution of Vladimir Lenskii, the pseudonym of Vladimir Abramovich. Recently unearthed, this previously unpublished text is presented and analyzed here for the first time.
