Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.

C.G. Jung and Nikolai Berdyaev: Individuation and the Person
Author: Georg Nicolaus
Publisher: Routledge

ISBN-13: 1136894853
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores C. G. Jung's psychology through the perspective of the existential philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev, drawing striking parallels between Jung's theory of individuation and Berdyaev's understanding of the person. Placing Jung and Berdyaev firmly within the context of secular humanism, Nicolaus draws on their personal experiences of individuation to show how both writers seek to enable a renewal of our self-understanding as persons in a post-religious society. Topics of discussion include: the foundations of Berdyaev's personalism Jung's psychological interpretation of the Christian God-image individuation and the ethics of creativity. C. G. Jung and Nikolai Berdyaev: Individuation and the Person offers a fresh perspective on the ethical implications of Jung’s theory and serves also as an introduction to Berdyaev’s thought. As such this book will appeal to analytical psychologists, scholars engaged with Jungian thought and all those interested in the interface between spirituality and depth psychology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html The goal and purpose of the Christian writer is to be a servant of the Word, to contribute to the disclosure in Him of the unified truth in its infinitely diverse manifestations in the earthly life of a Christian, and thereby lead the Christian soul along the path of Orthodoxy from temporary life to eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. After the publication of this book, I sent it as a gift to Bishop Theophan of Poltava. In response to this, Vladika wrote me the following on November 24, 1915: “Honorable Sergey Alexandrovich! I sincerely thank you for your attention to me, expressed in sending me your book “On the Bank of the River of God”. I read all your books with great interest and completely share your views on recent events. People of this world live by faith in progress and lull themselves into unrealizable dreams. Stubbornly and with some bitterness, they persecute the very idea of the demise of the world and the coming of Antichrist. Their eyes are spiritually blinded. Seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not understand. But the meaning of these events is not hidden from the truly believing children of God, and even more so: on whoever the favor of God rests, they will be open to the time of the coming of Antichrist and the end of the world for sure. When the Lord speaks out His formidable Judgment over the sinful world: My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh (Gen. 6:3); then He will say to His faithful servants: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate ... and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (2 Cor. 6:17; cf. Isa. 52:11). And hide them from the eyes of the world, sighing in fear of impending disasters. Therefore, the great merit of those who remind people of this world about the coming great times and events. May the Lord help you to Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (2 Tim. 4:2). Your sincere admirer and worshiper, Bishop Theophanes.” “God help you to say this in the [preaching the word] hearing of the world of everything” - these words of the bishop came true in all accuracy during the years of the revolution. Such is the significance of the episcopal blessing, and moreover of such a bishop as Theophan.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKirylo Sidorovitch Razumov is a student in St. Petersburg, applying himself to his studies and harboring ambitions of rising in Russian society. But his plans are shattered when a fellow student, Victor Haldin, assassinates a high-ranking Russian minister before turning to Razumov for help. Razumov is deeply conflicted, but in the moment acts to preserve his own self-interest rather than assist his friend. Haldin had spoken to Razumov of his mother and sister, living in Geneva. As Razumov is recruited to spy for the Czarist government, he makes his way to Switzerland and meets Mrs. Haldin and the sister, Natalia. The women have been deeply affected by the loss of their son and brother, and Razumov’s presence in Geneva deepens their distress. Ultimately, Razumov himself must come to terms with his choices. The narrator in the novel is an Anglo-Russian language teacher, an older man who has been tutoring Natalia Haldin in English literature. His telling of the story draws both on his own eyewitness experience, and on Razumov’s journal which has come into his possession. Joseph Conrad’s 1920 preface to this work acknowledges its contemporary unpopularity. Subsequently, however, it has been widely acclaimed as perhaps his finest political novel, sharing something of the prescience shown in The Secret Agent, written four years earlier. Ambivalence among the book’s first readers may have had something to do with Conrad’s artistic choices for the narration and structure of the novel. His unnamed narrator, the somewhat intrusive “teacher of languages,” disavows facility with words and imagination, yet the story emerges from the perceptions of his “Western eyes.” Structurally, the storyline moves in a disordered chronology. Similarly, its often-intense dialogue somehow fails to establish a connection between the participants. Conrad’s exploration of stability and revolution, loyalty and betrayal, action and abstention, love and indifference, are all deepened by these unsettling techniques, demanding that the reader engage actively in the unfolding of this political and personal drama.

Russian Classical Literature Today

ISBN-13: 1443861820
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores a range of (mis)uses of the Russian classical literature canon and its symbolic capital by contemporary Russian literature, cinema, literary scholarship, and mass culture. It outlines processes of current canon-formation in a situation of the expiration of a literature-centric culture that has been imbued with specific messianism and its doubles. The book implements Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the cultural field, focussing on a field’s constitutive pursuit of autonomy and on its flexible resistance to the double pressure of the political field and the economic field. It provides material for elaborating this theory through postulating the principal presence of a third factor of heteronomy: the ‘strong neighbour’ within the cultural field. Furthermore, this volume demonstrates the heuristic of comparing the current Russian (mis)uses of classical literature to prior Russian and current foreign ones. As such, it also discusses such issues as the historical relativity of a literary field’s (notion of) autonomy and the geo-cultural variability of the Russian literary canon.
