The suburbs of thought. Philosophical walk, Makushinsky A.

We are in front of Alexei Makushinsky’s philosophical walk in places where the main “heroes” of the book - Nikolai Berdyaev and the French theologian Jacques Mariten lived.

Walking, the author fails into the past, recalls and quotes poets, philosophers and artists (among them: Lev Shestov and his students, Roden and Rilke, Charles Pega, Marina Tsvetaeva, Albert Kamyu), now and then recuming back to modernity and with the talent of a true novelist, noticing everything around - from the red pants of the fellow traveler to the candy wrappers on the floor of the cafe.

read such a prose - labor, rewarded with a sense of amazing fullness of the world, which, as in Homeric times, is still capable of transmitted by words.
