Beschreibung:
The nameless mystic who wrote The Way of a Pilgrim indicates that he was born in a Russian village in the province of Orel and served as a soldier in the army. Other historical references suggest that he lived during the nineteenth century. Along with his profound theological and philosophical observations, the author provides an authentic portrait of Russia's social conditions during the final years of serfdom. Readers will delight in the pilgrim's encounters with a vast range of humanity, from monks, intellectuals, and hermits to peasants, convicts, and exiles.
This classic of spirituality recounts a peasant's attempts to follow St. Paul's advice to "pray without ceasing," offering profound theological and philosophical observations and a portrait of 19th-century Russian life.
