About the book
In Eternal Man, the third book of a trilogy on man’s moral world (the two preceding works—Are Wicked Sorcerors Immortal? and Wonder—will be dealt with in retrospect in Eternal Man), I have tried.to capture the spiritual life of compatriots and contemporaries.
There is a fascinating passage in Marx which states that communism is impossible unless^ the riches of the past can be preserved. This has been the inspiration for my books on the spiritual world of modern Soviet man.The individual who remains “eternal” bears the distinct, never-to-be-repeated mark of his epoch. Eternal Man is dedicated to the eternal in man and to the spirit of the present age, to their union and at times paradoxical interpenetration.As I worked on this book I tried to imagine the faces of future readers. The faces I saw were laughing, frowning, and expressing either amazement or alarm. As facial expressions changed I saw something I especially appreciated—the obvious look of concentration from which new thoughts arise. I admire thoughtful faces, and when they appear before me I realize that a line or paragraph has succeeded. I wish only one thing: that my readers will think along with me.A book is a house of fantastic dimensions. One may dwell there a while and leave, but one can also stay there forever without disturbing those who settled there earlier. I wrote this book dreaming about a reader who would live on here, with me, forever.
The book was translated from Russian by Christine Bushnell was published in by Progress Publishers.
