Rose of the World

«Rose of the World» — the main work of Russian esoteric literature, created by Daniil Andreyev, a poet and outstanding mystical thinker, the son of the well-known writer of the early 20th century Leonid Andreyev. Written based on the author's personal spiritual experience, this original religious-philosophical treatise is marked by an inspired vision of universal unity. In his insights about what lies «beyond» ordinary experience, the author seeks to convey to the reader the image of the forthcoming global culture, which the author of the book names the Rose of the World. Everything created by Daniil Andreyev is «about one and the same: about the structure of the universe and about the struggle of Good and Evil that permeates this structure,» — writes his wife and most profound biographer Alla Alexandrovna Andreyeva. In the heartfelt article «The Life of Daniil Andreyev, told by his wife,» preceding the treatise «Rose of the World» in this collection, the writer's spouse narrates about his life and creative path as seen through the eyes of the closest person.
