Have Not Charity is a fascinating and profound investigation into deep and important concepts which have become obscure in modern times: sin and virtue. Alexandr Korol examines what motivates people in their actions, how goals and behaviours align, and how these are all affected both for good and ill both by virtue and by sin. He seeks to show that many ‘good’ deeds are in fact motivated by sin.

This is a true modern work of ethics, in the classical sense, a guide for a better life. If you have ever hoped to gain a clearer and fuller understanding of how society and life work, this book will prove invaluable.

The writer, Alexandr Korol, was born in Saint Petersburg on the 12th of September 1990.


In 2006, Alexandr started to write his diary for the first time, where he noted his thoughts on traditional life questions: why children don’t listen to their parents? Why do people lie to each other? Why don’t people do what they like? As well as other thoughts about human relationships…


In 2008, Alexandr published his first book, named Answer, it was a compilation of author’s candid thoughts from the diary. Same year, the writer adopted his mother’s maiden name and since then he has written under “Alexandr Korol”. His book Answer attracted a lot of public attention. The project became a success; Alexandr created his first YouTube video where he shared his views about the world and society. The video brought even more public interest to the writer. Video was re-posted on social networks and received more than 1 million views.


By 2018, Alexandr finished more than 10 books with a collection of thoughts from a personal diary. All of the books were available for free download on his website. The same year, the book Corridor was published and became a bestseller. In this book, Alexandr proposes the concept of frequency in regards to social standing and psychological state of each person. Frequency is a combination of elements of everyday life that is used by every one of us: music, movies, clothes, people around us—all of it influences the person’s life. In Corridor, the author explains how to move from one frequency to another and which elements help or harm. In 2018, Alexandr decided to present the book to public during the event in the concert hall in Saint Petersburg, which was a wide success and attended by almost a thousand people.


Later in 2018, the second book, Paradox, was published. This book is a collection of separate non-fiction short stories about unexplainable events in the author’s life. This diary-like book most appeals to creative and free-spirited people who believe in wonders and live by feelings. Many readers called this book a “food for the soul”. The second part of this book, Paradox 2.0, was published in 2021. The book has the same structure and motivation to make a reader look at himself and everyday events from a different and unusual perspective.


Attention Control is a new book by the author that aims to help those who have trouble to concentrate and have problems steering their life in the right direction. The ability to control how to spend your attention is the essential part of a conscious human. This book is published in 2023.


The second book of 2023 is about women and men, friendship and friends, about relationships between parents and children and about what real love is. The author explains and gives examples of men and women’s behaviour in different social strata. This book will help a reader understand themselves and other people, and build harmonious relationships with friends and loved ones.


All above books can be downloaded from the author’s website:

In 2022, Alexandr finished his two-part book Have Not Charity. This book is an exploration of relatively obscure subjects, in modern times, as sins and virtues. In 2 parts of the book, the author attempts to explain what motivates people, how life goals and peoples behaviours are affected by sins or virtues. He shows that so many “good” deeds are in fact motivated by sins. This is a modern book of ethics; the guidance for a better life. This book is an attempt to explain how society and life work. The title of the book was taken from Bible 1 Corinthians, 13-2: “and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.”

    This is simply the best book to understand it all: why are people this way, how they think, and why some of them are drawn to certain activities while others are not. You will see yourself in a lot of examples, we all will, actually (at least majority of us)

    And afterward, you won’t be able to see the world the way you did before, you simply won’t…

    That is the most special thing about this book – it doesn’t say much about changing you forever, but in the end, it does, and better than anything else before in the world of books

    Examples and explanations that are given in this book touch upon our behavior, how we act in society, our habits, our opinions, and how can affect us in a good and a bad way

    Sounds simple, but it is much more complex than it seems, believe me, I, am a random guy from the review section :)

    If you want to see how deep is the rabbit hole, so to speak, go for this book

    If you are okay where you are don’t want any changes and are comfortable being present you – don’t ever read it

    As mentioned above, this book changes your insides for good, no kidding

    Thank you so much, Alexandr!

    I never write reviews, but I’ll make an exception, because this book is the most useful book of our time, in my opinion

    Cheers!

    An answer, A guide, A way. This book is giving you a simple view of how complex world is working. What is the soul and what is our purpose. Everything you need for your lifetime can be found in this book. I am still changing because of this book, and every time I read it - I discover something new. Just give it a chance, you wont regret it.

  • Mari

    Do you remember the magical books of childhood? Like any story, the one you read in a book became a fairy tale. All the characters from the books came to life, and it was as if you lived the story with them. You participated in their adventures, saw the world through their eyes, and experienced all the excitement and feelings of the childhood book heroes as if you had stepped onto the pages of the book... found yourself there... in a magical fairy tale... in Wonderland.
    You can bring back that forgotten feeling of freedom, magic, and escape from our harsh material world and enter a kind and sincere story, a story told by a guy about his life. You will stop feeling lonely, sad, humiliated, or hurt by the adult world and regain inner peace, confidence, and inspiration for the things you always put off. You'll have the desire to create something new, change yourself, and take a deep breath. Just run down the road like Forrest Gump. Without thoughts. Without doubts. Without regrets.
    A small book that will change your life and take you back to the forgotten past, the magical time of childhood when wonders are possible, and you still have it all ahead of you.

    It’s an amazing book with lot of wisdom inside. This book made me realise a lot of things about myself, what was I doing wrong or right, how I threat other people, why something good or bad happens to me and how the soul of a human being is working. I highly recommend to take it and read it, than your life will become more brighter, miracles will start happening again, and greatest possibility that this book could give to you - is that you would look at whole world in a new way, that you haven’t saw it before, and it’s honestly - something beautiful.

    Thank you, Alexander!

  • Stanislav
