Sretensky Monastery Publishing House https://monastery.ru/proekty/izdatelstvo-monastyry... https://t.me/sretensky_books is one of the largest Orthodox publishing houses in modern Russia.
It was founded in 1993 by Metropolitan Tikhon (Shevkunov).
We publish liturgical, theological, spiritual-educational, historical, children's, artistic and educational literature, as well as albums and calendars. More than 100 titles of books are published annually, including reprints, with a total circulation of 1.5 to 3 million copies.
This is already our second project on Planeta.ru (the previous collection of 700,000 rubles for a book by St. Ignatius Bryanchaninov was completed in just three weeks).
Our most famous book
The most famous book of the Sretensky Publishing House is "The Unsaintly Saints and Other Stories" by Vladyka Tikhon (Shevkunov). Since its publication in 2011, the book has undergone many reprints, the total circulation of which amounted to 3 million copies. The book has been translated into 13 foreign languages (English, French, Greek, Italian, Polish, Finnish, Chinese and others)
Our awards
During its existence, the publishing house of the Sretensky Monastery has regularly won prizes at the Association of Russian Book Publishers (ARPP), the Russian Orthodox Church Publishing Council's contest "Enlightenment through the Book" and other prestigious contests.
What we're doing?
We want to republish a three-volume edition of the works of the Holy Martyr Hilarion, an outstanding hierarch and one of the greatest church figures of the 20th century, a scholar and church writer.
The three-volume set includes historical essays on the Church, theological works and publicistic works. Each reader will find something new and valuable in them. The writings of the holy martyr Hilarion are a testimony of the epoch, a treasury of practical theology and an answer to the burning question "what is the Church for?".
A true philosopher lives according to his convictions. The Holy Martyr Hilarion not only left us a legacy of profound and inspired literary works, but also testified to their high significance with his life.
He proved the doctrine of the Church by his selfless church service, the preaching of joyful Christianity by his complacency in suffering.
Vladyka Hilarion's theology was never abstract and scholastic, but was always most directly related to life and its pressing questions about God, the necessity of the Church, the personality of man, and many others. His publicistic works bear that glow of eternity which allows us to see things in their true image.
What is money for?
To prepare books for reprinting, to pay the printing house, to take out the print run and deliver it to the readers. If we raise more than that amount, it will be very helpful, because we have a few more books in the pipeline that we cannot afford to publish yet due to lack of funds.
Deadlines and delivery
We plan to complete the collection by mid-May and go straight to press so that all participants will receive their rewards in June. Postage will be at the buyers' expense.
