    About the book: 2016 / "The Dream of Zhuang Tzu", in which he thought he was a butterfly, and waking up with the question "Who is dreaming about whom?" Butterfly Chuang Tzu or Chuang Tzu the butterfly? - perhaps the most famous Chinese metaphor in the world about the structure of consciousness and knowledge of the world. Zhuang Tzu is a famous Taoist philosopher and author of parables, occupying a place in the pantheon of Chinese culture that is commensurate with Confucius and Lao Tzu and at the same time special, since his works are understandable to the reader with any level of training and directly: both text and figurative row. And these parables have a direct and direct effect on the consciousness of the reader, transforming the symbols of funny and instructive stories into a charge of creative energy, which everyone is free to direct wherever he pleases: into business, into self-development, into relationships, into his own creativity. Because the Great Contemplator told us about what he saw around him, constantly turning his gaze not to things, but to time and the original in these things. In fact, the entire text talks about simple and ordinary things, but as soon as they find themselves in the field of consideration of the wise, the great secret of this world immediately appears in them. Bronislav Bronislavovich Vinogrodsky, a famous translator, artist and expert on China, for the first time in the history of reading and knowledge, Zhuang Tzu did not make a literal translation, but retold the entire collection of parables known today in modern language. “I think,” writes Bronislav Bronislavovich in the introduction, “that each reader will read the book in his own way and draw his own conclusions. And this is precisely why everything is written. I am sure that you will return to this book many times, because at each new stage of knowledge your vision will change, and the inexhaustible depth of ancient wisdom will always be a source of insight and inspiration for the thoughtful reader. Therefore, wander in the infinite along the waves of your will, the will of this world. Have a good journey of spirit, knowledge, will and power, first of all over yourself, for there is and cannot be any other power in this world».
