This is an automatically translated description

The Polish writer, poet, playwright, and forerunner of modern intellectual Satanism, Stanisław Przybyszewski (1868-1927) is considered a legendary figure of the European bohemia and Polish literature of the modernist era. Strindberg called him a "genius Pole". Although included in all literary encyclopaedias, his work remains a mystery to Ukrainian readers, as there have been no translations of his works. The novel Children of Satan (1897), which belongs to the classics of modernist decadent literature, puts the ideology of nihilism and anarchism at the centre of the narrative, considering them as dangerous tools in the hands of an "evil god". Reading this novel today, when we have the experience of communism and Nazism behind us, we can perceive it as an unintentional warning from the author before the realisation of the Nietzschean idea of the "superman."
