Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two days before her death, Catherine the Great walked into her own throne room and found herself already sitting on the throne. In a Livonian boarding school, forty-two girls watched their teacher stand at the blackboard beside an exact copy of herself. In Paris, a young man looked down at his own body breathing on the couch and could not turn out the lamp.On Doppelgängers gathers seventeen such accounts, collected from court memoirs, provincial newspapers, the records of the London Society forPsychical Research, and the Russian spiritualist journal Rebus. It appears here in English for the first time.Archpriest Grigory Dyachenko was not a sensationalist, and this is not a ghost book. He was a parish priest and a serious churchman, compiler of the standard Church Slavonic dictionary, and he assembled these accounts to argue a plain claim against the materialism of his age: that the person is not identical with the body, and that the testimony of ordinary people, taken carefully and in quantity, is worth attending to.This volume presents chapter ten of his 784-page From the Realm of the Mysterious, followed by his own appendices weighing the explanations available in 1900, and by notes tracing every source he cites. A translator's foreword sets Dyachenko in his moment and marks where his answers fall short. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First English translation of Konstantin Leontiev's landmark 1880 critique of Russian liberalism - with historical footnotes.Diplomat, novelist, and philosopher Konstantin Leontiev (1831-1891) is one of the most prophetic and neglected conservative thinkers of the nineteenth century. In these two landmark articles, published in the Warsaw Daily in 1880 and now translated into English for the first time, Leontiev delivers a devastating diagnosis of Russian liberalism and a bold alternative vision rooted in Byzantine Orthodox conservatism.Writing just one year before the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, Leontiev warned that Russia's imitation of Western liberal democracy was not a path to stability but a road to socialist revolution. Within thirty years of his death, that revolution had arrived.This volume includes: - First complete English translation of both articles- Historical footnotes illuminating key figures, legal cases, and cultural references- Foreword introducing Leontiev's life, philosophy, and historical context- Analysis of his famous theory of civilizational decay - flowering, simplifying, collapsePerfect for readers interested in: - Russian history and philosophy- Orthodox Christian thought- Conservative political philosophy- Byzantine civilization and its legacy- 19th century European intellectual history- Prophetic critiques of liberalism and progressivism.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First English translation of Konstantin Leontiev's intimate spiritual memoir - a philosopher's account of conversion and life on Holy Mount Athos.Diplomat, novelist, and philosopher Konstantin Leontiev (1831-1891) is one of the most prophetic and neglected conservative thinkers of the nineteenth century. In this autobiographical memoir, written following his transformative years on Mount Athos, Leontiev traces his journey from worldly skeptic to committed Orthodox Christian - offering one of the most candid accounts of intellectual conversion in Russian literature.Drawing on his time at Athonite monasteries (1871-1872) and his conversations with the Elder Ieronim, Leontiev reflects on childhood faith, the tension between reason and religion, and the moment authentic Orthodox conviction took hold of a restless and brilliant mind. He argues throughout that lived, personal faith expressed through honest testimony reaches the educated heart more powerfully than doctrine alone.Perfect for readers interested in: Russian history and philosophy, Orthodox Christian spirituality and monasticism, 19th century Russian intellectual history, conversion narratives and spiritual autobiography, Mount Athos and Eastern monasticism.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before he became Patriarch of Moscow and a confessor of the faith, St. Tikhon Bellavin was a young professor and newly consecrated Bishop, shepherding a vast and diverse flock across the American continent at the turn of the twentieth century. In sermons and theological essays composed with disciplined regularity, he addressed the most intimate dimensions of Christian life - among them, the sacred vocation of marriage and the spiritual formation of young men and women entering its covenant.This volume presents two of those works in English translation: On The Church's View of Marriage, composed in 1891 during his tenure as professor of moral theology at Kholm Theological Seminary, and Teaching at the Blessing of Newlyweds, written during his early episcopal years in North America in 1902. Together they reveal a theologian of remarkable clarity and a pastor of genuine tenderness - a man whose sanctity would later be confirmed not in lecture halls, but in the suffering and witness of revolution.St. Tikhon crossed the ocean at thirty-three years old to lead the Diocese of the Aleutians and Alaska, eventually moving the episcopal seat to New York and serving as Archbishop of North America for nearly a decade. His patriarchate, beginning in 1917, was marked by political upheaval and personal suffering culminating in his repose on April 7, 1925 - widely regarded as a martyric death. Glorified as a Saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1989, his incorrupt relics were discovered at Donskoy Monastery in Moscow in 1992.These early writings on marriage predate the trials that would define his legacy, offering a rare window into the formation of a Saint - his intellectual precision, his pastoral warmth, and his conviction that theology must be a guide for daily Christian life, not an abstraction removed from it.St. Tikhon of Moscow was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1989 and is venerated as a confessor and Saint across the Orthodox world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first English translation of St. Innocent of Alaska's Instructions for Instructions for Those Who Fast or Prepare for Communion, written during his missionary years among the Aleut peoples of the North Pacific. Where his Missionary Instructions addressed the priest going outward into the world, this text turns inward - toward the individual soul preparing to encounter Christ in the sacramental life of the Church.Written on the Alaskan frontier in the early nineteenth century and preserved in the 1886 collected works assembled by I. P. Barsukov, these instructions offer practical and pastoral guidance for those beginning or deepening their practice of fasting and preparation for Holy Communion. Gentle in tone and grounded in humility, they reveal the same pastoral heart that made St. Innocent one of the most beloved missionary figures in Orthodox history.Carefully translated and enriched by historical context, this volume invites modern readers to encounter the interior life of a saint whose concern extended beyond the mission field to the quiet, daily struggle of every Christian seeking a more faithful life in Christ.Inside this volume: - The complete Instructions for Those Who Fast or Commune in first English translation- Historical context situating the text within St. Innocent's Alaska period and the 1886 Barsukov collection- Pastoral guidance on fasting, spiritual preparation, and reception of Holy Communion- Insight into the interior spiritual vision of the Apostle to AmericaSt. Innocent of Alaska was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977 and by the Orthodox Church in America in 1994. His pastoral legacy remains alive across Alaska and the Americas to this day. Zimmerman, Svetlana (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before he became Patriarch of Moscow and a Saint revered for his courage and pastoral wisdom, Tikhon (Bellavin) was a young professor at the Kholm Theological Seminary, quietly shaping his thought in the final years of the Russian Empire. Between 1895 and 1897, he composed essays exploring asceticism, Christian fasting, vegetarianism, and the spiritual life-works that reveal the intellectual rigor and pastoral sensitivity of the man who would later shepherd the Russian Church through revolution and persecution.This volume presents three of those writings in English for the first time: Vegetarianism and Its Difference from Christian Fasting, On the Face of the Lord Jesus Christ, and On Asceticism. Readers encounter a theology that is practical, disciplined, and profoundly humane-offering guidance for daily life while illuminating the heart of a man whose sanctity would later be proven through suffering and witness.Accessible, faithful to the original texts, and enriched by historical context, The Moral Theology of St. Tikhon allows modern readers to engage with the mind of a theologian, the heart of a pastor, and the enduring witness of a saint whose words continue to inspire. Zimmerman, Svetlana (illustrator). …
