Europe and the Soul of the East: A German's View of Russian Civilization
29.99 €
Walter Schubart proclaims the salvation of Europe by Russia and the "birth of a West-Eastern world culture". Schubart's book is a fascinating essay on the national characters of the world's leading nations. Although the main thing for the author is the coming transformation of humanity and the saving mission of the "healing Russian soul." "The Englishman looks at the world as a factory, the Frenchman as a salon, the German as a barracks, the Russian as a temple. The Englishman craves booty, the Frenchman craves glory, the German craves power, the Russian craves sacrifice. The Englishman expects from his neighbor profit, the French sympathy, the German wants to command him. And only the Russian wants nothing." Walter Schubart. "Europe and the Soul of the East." Russian philosopher-emigrant Ivan Ilyin wrote: "...Schubart's book is strikingly different from that Western publicism where Russians appear as masochistic cowards, prodigally waiting for shameful punishment." Ilyin believed that in the person of Shubart "we see for the first time" a Western European who kindly "opened his eyes to us" sitting orphaned at the threshold. "Yes, yes, at the threshold, for we wanderers are not allowed to go to the hearth." The book "Europe and the Soul of the East" (1938) was included by the German Nazis in the list of "undesirable and harmful literature".
