The book “Soul of the East” is intended for a wide range of readers, those who are interested in the Eastern mentality, most clearly represented in the works of classics of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, etc. literature. Not everyone and not always can find the time and opportunity to familiarize themselves, at least briefly, with the works of Lao Tzu, Zhuang Tzu, Confucius and many other less popular authors today, real titans of Eastern philosophy, including Sufi wisdom. In addition, the legacy of these geniuses is sometimes so extensive that it will take weeks and months to fully study it, although not everything is so interesting for us. Therefore, I took the trouble to sift through mountains of this golden sand in order to extract from them absolutely priceless nuggets, without which no one can be considered a truly cultured person.
