Book the size of life

How philosophical, literary and artistic creativity is correlated with the royal art (hierophany of the ancients), the process of spiritual transmutation of hermetic philosophers, and how this is connected with consciousness and subconscious in the perception of literary and mystical, musical and visual works, all this will be discussed in the collection of the essay Vladimir Tkachenko-Gildebrandt "Book of Life", going out in the series under his editors "Mystical cults of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance". The internal logic of the book is subordinated to the issue of initiation and initiative action, contributing to the consideration of the individuals of state dignitaries, philosophers, ministers of literature and art in a new perspective, which sometimes leads to very paradoxical conclusions about their intellectual and creative activities
