The edition includes two pieces of prose by Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918). A parable The Putrid Enchanter (1909) is the first book by Apollinaire-prosaist, its genre being similar to that of medieval mysteries and dialogues. A newly translated into Russian adventure-story The Assassinated Poet (1916) is a parody of Apollinaire's contemporary society, its ways and customs. The central theme of both works - the poet's life - is introduced in the narrative pattern with numerous allusions and reminiscences.
