The Singing Heart is one of the three key works in the creative heritage of Ivan Ilyin. In this book, the philosopher reflects on the spiritual and religious experience that permeates the whole life of a believer, including such purely secular concepts as love and friendship. The beauty of nature and the bustle of everyday life, the pain of loss and the inevitability of aging, suffering and negative emotions - these are just a few of what he offers to look at in the refraction of a sincere and deep faith that supports and purifies the mind and soul.
