Since its first publication in 1952, the book "The Elder Silouan" by Sycharchimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov, 1896-1993) about the Monk Silouan of Athos (+ 1938) has become a vivid expression of the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church, a kind of "Dobrotolubium" for our time or, better to say, for our time. The testimony of two great ascetics - the Monk Siluan and his disciple, the elder Sophronius - has made it for many people the truest word (2 Pet. 1, 19) in conveying to the people of our era the Gospel teaching of Christ - a spiritual life based primarily on love for one's neighbor as oneself (Mt. 22, 39. Mk. 12, 31. Lk. 10, 27-28). We hope that the book, translated into many languages of the world, will not cease to find a lively response in the hearts of Russian-speaking readers. In this edition we have reproduced, as far as possible, the style and design elements of the lifetime edition of Father Sophrony's book.
