Ivan Ilyin (1882-1954) – one of the most insightful Russian thinkers. He left Russia on the “philosophical ship” in 1922, when the Soviet government was expelled from the country all the color of the Russian intelligentsia, and “returned” in 2005: his ashes was delivered from Switzerland to Moscow and reburied to the cemetery of the Don Monastery.
The philosopher’s thoughts, sincere and piercing wise, delicately instruct the reader, teach him the art of life. The lessons of Ivan Ilyin are valuable recipes for the true manifestation of Christianity. Freedom, a loving heart and the ability to “feel” – this is, according to the writer, the main components of human happiness.
The real collection consists of three works united by a common internal idea: “I peer into life. Book of thoughts”, “Singing heart. Book of quiet contemplations” and “The Way to Evidence”.
