The Meaning of Life

Originally published in Russian in 1925, The Meaning of Life is a distillation of S. L. Frank’s bitter experience during the Revolution and his post-Revolution exile. It is, quite simply, a book about the search for meaning in suffering, and it displays an extraordinary spiritual profundity rooted in personal experience. Translator Boris Jakim calls it “the closest thing we have in the twenty-first century to the book of Job.” Jakim’s masterful translation into English brings Frank’s powerful thought to a world still—and always—searching for meaning.
