This volume features two works by the writer and philosopher V. V. Rozanov: "In a World of Uncertainty and Indecision" (1901; 2nd edition 1904) and "From Eastern Motifs" (1916–1917), both of which have not been published since their original release. At the heart of these texts lies Rozanov's exploration of the inexplicable mysteries of human nature, the secrets of ancient civilizations (such as Babylon, Egypt, and Judea), and the roles of gender, family, and marriage as foundational elements of world history, religion, and culture. In this context, the thinker draws upon the works of notable writers and artists, including Pushkin, Lermontov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Schiller, Raphael, and Rembrandt. The philosophical insights and passionate themes presented in these writings left a profound impact on Rozanov's contemporaries. The writer Andrei Bely spoke of the fire that emanated from "In a World of Uncertainty and Indecision." This edition is illustrated with drawings selected by V. V. Rozanov himself and is intended for all those interested in philosophy, religion, and culture.
