You can talk endlessly about motherly love. But hardly anyone will ever describe this phenomenon more exhaustively than Anatoly Nekrasov. Mother's love, according to the writer, stands out from other types of love so much that it is impossible not to notice. It contains many impurities and shades of feelings: attachment to the child, selfishness towards him, the desire for self-affirmation, a sense of ownership, even pride. And, unfortunately, love itself in this scale is negligible … Nekrasov thinks so, and he conveys this idea to us in his brilliant work “Maternal Love”.
Within a few years after the release of the book, the book was reprinted dozens of times and was translated into several languages. The volume of the work is small, but it touches upon such problems that have turned the worldview of hundreds of thousands of people, opening up a new look at their own destinies. "Mother's Love" is not just a work of art, but a whole system. A system that allows you to see family foundations, the relationship of family members from a completely different angle.
The author considers here another, different from the generally accepted, side of a mother's love for a child. According to Nekrasov, maternal love can bring a lot of suffering not only to children, not only to the mother herself, but also to the surrounding society. Especially when this love is excessive. Such a situation is inherent in some nations more, some less, but, nevertheless, is relevant throughout the world. And this creates a lot of problems…
Should I say that "Mother's Love" made quite a buzz after its release? Hundreds of reactions, thousands of points of view were its natural consequence. Many women, after starting to read, discovered something new in themselves, changed the usual order of thoughts and made very diverse conclusions. Some simply threw the book away, unable to read another page. However, the read chapters of "Mother's Love" were taken by the soul, did not let go, forced to return to them again and again. And these same women found, bought, read the book again, literally through force.
What happened next? The readers felt the deepest gratitude to the author for expressing what they themselves were unable to formulate. The relationship of mothers with their children became completely different. Not only women, but also men showed extraordinary interest in the book. "Mother's Love" has even become a desktop tool for some psychologists, and still helps them in resolving complex and intricate family problems.
Anatoly Nekrasov himself, memberUnion of Russian Writers and an experienced psychologist, was a leading specialist in family relations. I must say that far from his only work in a psychological vein was "Mother's Love". Nekrasov wrote more than three dozen books on harmony in the human soul, his personal growth against the background of various aspects of life. The most famous of them are Living Thoughts, Man and Woman, and 1000 and One Ways to Be Yourself. These books will turn your point of view on life upside down, make you observe the world and independently find many confirmations of the words of a brilliant author written on paper.
