The Way of a Pilgrim and Other Classics of Russian Spirituality (Dover Books on Western Philosophy)

The story of an anonymous 19th-century peasant's spiritual education, "The Way of a Pilgrim" ranks among the classics of world spirituality. Its appearance here distinguishes this superb anthology — the first such compilation in any language — of texts that derive from the lives of saints, ascetic and mystic treatises, and spiritual autobiographies.
