This Animus Classics edition compiles some of the most important writings of the Russian philosopher Lev Shestov (1866-1938). It consists of the book All Things are Possible (also known as The Apotheosis of Groundlessness) as well as a selection of four essays: Anton Tchekhov (Creation from the Void), The Gift of Prophecy, Penultimate Words and The Theory of Knowledge. Shestov was one of the most influential Russian thinkers of the early 20th century, with authors such as D. H. Lawrence (who also wrote the foreward to All Things are Possible, contained in this volume) and Georges Bataille citing him as a major inspiration.
