Lao Tzu's philosophical treatise "The Book of the Way and Power", the teachings of Confucius, collected by students from his sayings and a collection of BUSHIDO instructions, which is the unspoken code of the samurai of ancient Japan, form the basis of classical Chinese and Japanese philosophy. At first glance, the books are completely different, written at different times, in different countries, nevertheless they are united by a common concept - following the Path.

There are many interpretations of the concept of Path and attempts to define it, but none fully reflects, and cannot reflect its essence. Lao Tzu, who is the founder of Taoism or the philosophy of the Path, chose the character Tao only to denote this concept, saying at the same time: "The path that can be traversed is not the true Path. A name that can be called is not a true Name." For Lao Tzu, the Path was the source of everything in the world, a universal harmony that puts everything living and inanimate in order, having neither beginning nor end. The path cannot be traversed, but it is possible to follow it, that is, to be in harmony with this world without trying to forcibly change it.

The mini-library of Oriental Wisdom consists of two books:

  • Lao Tzu "The Book of the Way and Power", Confucius "Sayings".
  • Confucius "Sayings", "BUSHIDO. The Code of the Samurai."

The books are sewn and bound by hand (leather binding) according to classical technology.

This book is a reduced copy of a unique edition, released in a single copy on the 15th anniversary of the adoption of the current Constitution of the Russian Federation (December 12, 1993) jointly by the National Union of Calligraphers, the publishing house "Rare Book from St. Petersburg" and the Team of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy Project. 120 pages of this first and only handwritten Constitution of the Russian Federation were made using the ancient method of manual casting.

  Miniature book "Eugene Onegin" Miniature book "Eugene Onegin" Russian Russian poetry, written in the first half of the XIX century, is undoubtedly not only an encyclopedia of Russian reality of that period, but also overcomes the time frame, remaining to this day an encyclopedia of the Russian soul. In his novel, the poet spoke out on almost all issues of public and personal life: theater, literature, economy, education; images of contemporaries (Derzhavin, Napoleon, etc.); nature, village, city… It is still inconceivable, for example, to talk about the theater without the delightful Pushkin lines. The pictures of the seasons are so picturesque and diverse that familiar epithets and comparisons certainly "break into" our discussions about any natural phenomenon. The images of the characters of "Eugene Onegin" are so vivid, their feelings and actions are described so accurately and deeply that we are still jokingly (or maybe not) "guessing" through the pages of the novel, looking for answers to exciting questions. "Eugene Onegin" is a work that you always want to have around to refer to him again and again, as a friend and an indisputable example of style and knowledge of life. Gift edition: a miniature book on a mahogany stand. The circulation is 999 numbered copies. Each book has a unique number and a personal stamp of the master.

  The miniature book "Oscar Wilde. The paradoxes of the aesthete" The miniature book "Oscar Wilde. The paradoxes of the aesthete" There are few people in the history of the world who would be so selflessly devoted to their ideals, so different from the views of their contemporaries, and so fearlessly preached them not only on paper and in salons, but in everything and everywhere. He did not live long, but his whole life was a declaration of that incredible love for beauty, for art, for life itself, which filled his heart. He was called the "father of aphorism and the illusion of paradox," the "apologist of beauty," the "conqueror of spiritual heights," the "king of life," but his most famous and perhaps most accurate title was the one that he appropriated to himself- "Prince of Paradox." His words, his actions, and his works were paradoxical: himself, Oscar Wilde. From a young age, he wanted to be original, special, exceptional. Having opened a new fashion to his compatriots - aesthetic dandyism, he himself became the "new" to which society inevitably begins to reach out against all traditions, even if he hides behind condemnation. He lectured in America and France, was acquainted with Verlaine and Hugo, dined with duchesses and gave advice to lords about art collections and palace decoration, presenting them with the gift of what they desired most: originality, wit and outrage. Then he began to write, putting his own life into literary form. And, as if from a cornucopia, "The Canterville Ghost", "The Crime of Lord Arthur Savile", "The Sphinx without a Riddle", tales of the Selfish Giant, the Nightingale and the Rose, the Happy Prince fell on the shelves: finally, the novel "Portrait of Dorian Gray", which became the pinnacle of Wilde's work and at the same time overflowed the cup of patience of the Puritanical England. But noisy indignation and angry accusations were met with a mocking rebuff by the proud author, who suppressed them with another brilliant phrase: "Please do me the favor to provide this book of Eternity, to which it belongs." Wilde had no idea how to write plays, but it was them ("Lady Windermere's Fan", "The Perfect Husband", "How important it is to be serious" :) they brought him stunning success, long-awaited freedom and money. Paradoxically, this is Wilde, who elevated the paradox to the rank of art and lifestyle, bringing it to a state of the highest, almost divine absurdity. The only paradox beyond his control turned out to be the paradox of his own essence. He was too special a man, too exceptional an artist, one of those who cannot bear the mundane. But the finale of those who so stubbornly, so blatantly do not fit into the framework of time and this routine is almost always tragic. The life he reigned over eventually broke his "king": "Prince Paradox" left, mercilessly condemned by those who had recently applauded him. However, he left a unique paradoxical wisdom to the world, enclosed in elegant intricacies of words: Performances based on his plays gather full halls again, books sell out in huge circulations, and countless aphorisms, unmistakably recognizable in their paradoxical nature, pop up in memory along with memories of their amazing author. The circulation is 999 numbered copies. Each book has a unique number and a personal stamp of the master.

  Miniature book "Sigmund Freud. Notes of a psychoanalyst" Miniature book "Sigmund Freud. Notes of a psychoanalyst" The concepts of the unconscious, dream interpretation, the Oedipus complex, and sexuality have been associated with the name of Sigmund Freud in the minds of people for more than a hundred years… To this day, some of the provisions of his theory are controversial. Nevertheless, few people dispute his role as the father of psychoanalysis and the man who was the first to talk about the role of drives in human life, about the influence of childhood experience on adult life, about the meaning of the unconscious. Psychoanalysis influenced many areas, including surrealism, which was no less revolutionary in art than psychoanalysis in the life of society. But "over-realism", "over-realism" (from the French surrealisme) attracted people long before Freud and Dali. Back in the XV century, the work of one of the most mysterious artists, Hieronymus Bosch, had a similar attractive force. Sometimes he is called a surrealist of his time, who drew the subjects of his paintings from the depths of the subconscious, just as in the method of free associations a person extracts images and thoughts from there. The combination of dream and reality, the absurd and the logical, the naturalistic and the symbolic is characteristic of both Freud's theory and Hieronymus Bosch's paintings. Therefore, it seemed interesting to combine these phenomena, spread over the centuries and similar in spirit, in the margins of our publication. The circulation is 999 numbered copies. Each book has a unique number and a personal stamp of the master.

  The miniature book "Shakespeare. Sonnets" The miniature book "Shakespeare. Sonnets" The collection of sonnets was created presumably in 1593-1600. The only lifetime edition of 1609 was addressed to W.H., the mystery of whose name remains unsolved to this day, like most of the mysteries associated with the great Englishman. Most of the sonnets (126 out of 154) are dedicated to a beautiful young man. The artwork of the book was made by N. Toropitsyna specifically for this edition. The artist's illustrations are written with tenderness and lyricism. Their emphasized elegance, the fineness of lines and the fragility of images, nevertheless, help the reader to plunge into the exciting world of a comprehensive feeling of love. Darkness and light, rise and fall, faith and jealousy - black and white.
