Yakov Semyonovich Druskin (1902–1980) was a religious philosopher, literary scholar, member of the Chinari circle, and friend of the OBERIUs, whose works he saved from destruction during the war. His legacy includes over five hundred posthumously published essays and treatises, as well as an extensive corpus of diaries and letters. Druskin's early texts were the result of creative interactions with like-minded individuals such as Lipavsky, Kharms, Oleynikov, and Vvedensky. However, Yakov Semyonovich outlived his comrades by several decades and continued to develop ideas shaped by the Chinari circle as an independent and original thinker. The themes of time, the world, spirit, matter, non-existence, space, eternity, immortality, fear, and God run through all his texts.
The first volume of this collection includes the author's major religious and philosophical treatises: "Visions of Unseeing," "Conversations of Messengers," "The Star of Nonsense," "Stages of Understanding," "Confession, a Failed Confession, Like My Life...," and others. Some texts, such as "Ignavia" and "Noumenal Love," are being published for the first time. The book is illustrated with graphic works by Druskin and archival photographs.
