What it is

Why it lasted
The central saint of Russian Christianity and the founder of a monastic revival that colonised the northern forests.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
