аннотация

A journey through time to the origins of the phenomenon of Russian love. The book consists of three parts: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the Torn Age. The first part presents three vectors of Russian love. The Romantic vector of Russian love is based on Pushkin, Lermontov, and Alexei Tolstoy; the aspirations of reason and freedom are in Herzen, Turgenev, and Chernyshevsky; the immersion into the depths of the human soul is characteristic of Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, and Chekhov.

In the years of my reckless youth as a student I began to think about the nature of love, then my interest in the thrill of the soul became stable — I began to note the nuances of my own and observed love stories. A passion for psychology and philosophy gave a new impetus to thinking about love. Somehow the idea of sharing original insights came up, but it took about 25 years before it translated into a book. I hope I was not mistaken in my willingness to take this step on the Confucius scale.
