Leonid Pinsky – Why God Sleeps: A Rare Philosophical & Literary Work
This edition presents a previously unknown literary-philosophical work by L. E. Pinsky (1906–1981), a scholar, philosopher, and dissident. It also includes his unpublished correspondence with film director G. M. Kozintsev (1905–1973). The book explores a broad range of religious, philosophical, aesthetic, and socio-political issues. Special attention is given to the works of Rabelais, Shakespeare, and Cervantes, as well as the Renaissance in general. Pinsky compares the comic with the tragic, examines concepts of individuality and sobornost (spiritual community), and contrasts Russian mentality with Western thought. The text also delves into the specifics of the dissident movement in the USSR during the 1960s–1970s. This publication is intended for anyone interested in world literature, theater, cinema, and the history of social thought in Russia.
