The Sacred Craft is a book compiled from texts written over 45 years. They are dedicated to the great thinkers and poets of the 20th century, such as Vyacheslav Ivanov, Mikhail Gershenzon, Alexander Blok, Semyon Frank, Nikolai Berdyaev, Yakov Golosovker, Martin Heidegger, etc. They were marked by different callings and gifts, but having met in the space of the book, they by the will of the author became akin to each other. Their kinship lies in the secret of giving oneself in thought, living explicitly or implicitly in the attraction of God. Philosophical portraits are not the sum of literary excursions, but the search for the theology of culture in persons.
