V. V. Rozanov’s essays on writing and writers are published for the first time as a separate book. It talks about the work of many domestic and foreign writers - Pushkin, Gogol, Lermontov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Blok, Chekhov, Merezhkovsky, Goethe, Dickens, Maupassant and others, as well as the writing skills of Russian philosophers - Leontiev, Vl. Solovyov, Florensky and others. In these essays, Rozanov consistently pursues the concept of a value-based approach to the heritage of writers, analyzing, first of all, the artistic contribution of each of them to the treasury of spiritual culture. The essays are distinguished by the literary brilliance inherent in Rozanov, striking with the depth and freshness of thought. The book is addressed to those who are interested in literature and philosophy.
