Collected Works. Volume 2. Diaries and Letters
29.99 €
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. The themes of time, the world, spirit, matter, non-existence, space, eternity, immortality, fear, and God run through all of Druskin's texts.
From 1933 until the end of his life, Druskin kept diaries. These are not mere notes—in them, the author discusses the same issues as in his writings, polemicizing with philosophers of the past, and without condescension, he reflects on his own life within the framework of religious ethics: personal experiences, the death of relatives, memories of friendship and collaborative work with Lipavsky, Kharms, and Vvedensky. In addition to Druskin's diaries, the second volume of this edition also includes selected letters, richly characterizing the content and style of Yakov Semyonovich's epistolary legacy. Among the recipients are Tamara Lipavskaya, artist Vladimir Sterligov, priest Dmitry Dudko, and physicist Yevgeny Feinberg.
