Letters about the Good and the Beautiful

The name of D.S. Lihachev, a philologist, cultural scientist, art historian, academician, researcher of ancient Russian literature, garden, park and church architecture, and iconographic works, is known to everyone today. Reading his books, you converse with a wise person whose thoughts and observations make you reflect on many things and reconsider much in your life. This collection consists of his letters-essays and various notes from his notebooks. In them are reflections on Russia, its cultural wealth, writing, language, remarkable traditions, the meaning of everything that exists on earth... And of course, about the person himself, for whom love for the homeland, home, and family opens the way to a world of goodness and harmony, while the ability to understand art provides depth of perspective and the joy of communication.
