Sinopsis

The first Russian Orthodox title in the distinguished Classics of Western Spirituality™ series, and the first Orthodox titles in some time, The Pilgrim's Tale is one of the most widely read and important examples of Russian spiritual literature. The author of The Pilgrim's Tale, which is devoted to various aspects of the Jesus Prayer, has been identified on the basis of other witnesses as Russian Orthodox monk Archimandrite Mikhail Kozlov. This translation is the first in English to be taken from the earliest version of the text preserved in Optino manuscript 456, written in the late 1860s. Other current versions are based on later translations. Preceded by a preface by the eminent historian/author/educator Jaroslav Pelikan, The Pilgrim's Tale gives testimony to the depth and richness of the Russian spiritual tradition. It deserves a wide readership among spiritual seekers of all faiths and will be welcome in university and seminary courses on spirituality and theology. †

Reseña del editor

This is the first paperback version of this edition, the Russian Orthodox spiritual story based on the Jesus prayer.

Reseña del editor

This is the first Russian Orthodox title ever for the Classics. Based on the Jesus prayer, The Pilgrim's Tale is the most famous example of Russian spiritual literature and should have a very wide readership. The volume is particularly important because this translation is based on the original manuscript, as oppose to many other current versions which are based on other translations.
