About the book: 2010 / The book is dedicated to the outstanding Russian philosopher Nikolai Aleksandrovich Berdyaev (1874-1948). One of the brightest representatives of the Russian Silver Age, a world-famous philosopher, until the end of his days he struggled with the solution to the “eternal” questions of human existence: about the meaning of life and death, about freedom and creativity, about the historical destiny of Russia and the essence of the “Russian idea.” His works still cause heated debate: some admire them, others fiercely criticize them, but no one remains indifferent. The author of the book talks about Berdyaev’s difficult life path, about the people who surrounded him in Russia and in emigration, about the life of the Russian Abroad and, of course, about his philosophical works.
