Synopsis

In "What Is Art?", Leo Tolstoy embarks on a profound exploration of the nature and purpose of art, questioning its societal functions and moral implications. This seminal treatise combines philosophical insight with Tolstoy's distinctive narrative style, marked by clarity and simplicity. He critiques contemporary trends in art, arguing for a more authentic expression of human experience that transcends mere aesthetic pleasure. Positioned within the context of 19th-century Russian thought, the work engages with prevailing notions of beauty and elitism, advocating for art that fosters universal connection and empathy. Tolstoy, a literary giant renowned for masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," was deeply influenced by his personal spiritual journey and commitment to moral values. His disillusionment with the artistic elite, coupled with his yearning for a more genuine and accessible form of expression, prompted him to write this insightful critique. His exploration not only reflects his own artistic philosophy but also his belief in the transformative power of art as a vehicle for social change and human solidarity. Readers fervently interested in the relationship between art and morality will find "What Is Art?" essential. Tolstoy's rigorous yet accessible arguments encourage reflection on the societal responsibilities of both the artist and the audience. This book invites its readers to reconsider their understanding of cultural production, making it a vital addition to the libraries of artists, philosophers, and anyone seeking to grasp the moral dimensions of creativity.

    For more than a millennium, from its creation in 330 A.D. until its fall in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was a cradle of artistic effervescence that we are only beginning to rediscover. Endowed with the rich heritage of Roman, Eastern and Christian cultures, Byzantine artists developed an architectural and pictorial tradition, marked by symbolism, whose influence extended far beyond the borders of the Empire. Today, Italy, Northern Africa, and the Near East preserve the vestiges of this sophisticated artistic tradition, with all of its mystical and luminous beauty. The magnificence of the palaces, churches, paintings, enamels, ceramics and mosaics from this civilisation guarantees Byzantine art's powerful influence and timelessness.

    "So sensitive and descriptive. I loved the forms and images that came to my mind as I read it!" 
    Alejandra Mantiñan - for the chapter The meaning of your personal-development path in tango 
    Connection, expression, wonderful tandas; what if you could get more of this? 
    In this unique audiobook, which became the most translated tango book in the world, Dimitris takes you on a journey of exploring connection, awareness, and meaning in tango. 
    In its short chapters, tango philosophy and meaningful stories merge with practical conclusions in a personal conversation that can change the way you experience your tango forever. 
    This audiobook is for those who look for meaning, connection, and awareness in tango; in one word: Tangofulness. 
    It is for those who know how it is to be hugged and feel safe; for those who have experienced a few best-tanda-of-my-life moments and want more of them. 
    Above all, it is for those who want to explore the origin of meaningful connection in argentine tango, not as an intellectual process, but as a practical way to experience tangofulness more often and in greater intensity. 
    Dimitris Bronowski took his first tango steps in 2009. 
    In 2019 he quit his job to dedicate himself to his passion: tango. He is the publisher of the bestselling book Tango Tips by the Maestros, a tango blogger, creator of the podcast and newsletter 'The Curious Tanguero', and a student of tango. His vision is to help one million people experience moments of meaning through tango.
