Drawing from the provisions of the hermeneutics of reading, as formulated by P. Ricoeur, the article analyzes the approaches to the analysis of A. A. Blok’s personal library, to the reconstruction of his circle of reading, interpretation of notes and marginalia. The research focuses on Blok’s notes on Fet’s translation of the second part of Faust, and especially on the preface. Blok’s treatment of this translation of the tragedy is considered in view of his creative evolution from his early lyrics to the metaphysics of Eternal Femininity and to the glimpses of the «Faustian theme» in his poem The Retribution.
