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.”

    The book is sensational. It’s something that can definitely be used for good upbringing of adults and children. I would consider myself lucky if I had known earlier the essence of what is sin and what is virtue: my teenage years wouldn’t be that bumpy as they were.
    It’s put in simple way, in simple words, in the way that catches your attention, so it’s comprehensible and not boring.
    I’ve been following the author’s work since 2016 (in Russian language) and he’s made unparalleled creative progress. I believe that even though English is not his mother tongue, you’ll enjoy reading and insights from book.

  • Alexander Korol

    After reading this book, you will begin to accept yourself and the people around you. What could be better)

  • Christie Right

    When one caught in daily routines and work, one goes through life taking it as it comes.
    We take all our problems as given, often not even bothering to analyze the reasons for those problems. We take occasional luck as is as well, as luck and nothing more.
    But there is a cause and effect in all our troubles and lucky situations.
    Would it be wonderful to figure out the deeper reasons of life consequences?

    The author does just that. He analyzes human behavior showing the reader that good consequences can be achieved by making choices based on our virtues. He explains how often people take the sin as virtues because the mere understanding of what is virtue lost in the chaos of modern life.

    I personally find this book enlightening and useful for my personal development. Highly recommend to read it, just to get a different perspective on life and people’s behavior.

  • Anastasiia M.

    This book is awesome.. The author explains people’s virtues and sins by means of real examples of behaviour.. Having read this book you will understand the motives of any people’s actions, will be able to look at your life from the different angle, to realise why you have so many failures or benefits..

  • Rukhshed Ganiev

    This book is special… It helps me understand myself. And also understand people around me. Genius examples and really deep thoughts from author made this book one of my favorites. 5 star, definitely recommend to read.

  • Natalia Belova

    The book is talking about reasons for people doing what they are doing. We all know the definition of 'good' and 'bad' person, but with the emphasis on the 'pretty picture' from social networks we are starting to forget about what is actually means. If a person posts a picture that he helps the animal shelter - is he automatically a good person? If your relative comments on your sloppy behaviour - is he automatically a bad person?

    All of it is covered in this book. It helps to categorise the reasonings of people's action and gives a clear understanding of what kind of person you are talking with. After this book you would need to ask one a few questions and you already see what drives them and what kind of human is actually in front of you.

    The book is pretty amazingly uses philosophical approach to explain allconsepts connected to sins and virtues. Has lots of examples for all of them so it is guaranteed to get the full understanding. Enjoy.

  • Christian R

    My comment may seem banal, but this book really changed my whole life! Honestly, she divided life into “before” and “after”!.. It was as if my eyes were opened to understanding my behavior and preferences in everything, and at the same time I began to truly “see” and understand other people!! And the information in this book was so different from everything I had read before that it was even difficult for me to compare it with anything.. It touched on topics of philosophy, psychology, sociology and a little theology. The cause-and-effect relationship of each person’s “choice” is analyzed and the theme of the structure of the “soul” or “consciousness” is revealed... I don’t know what to call it correctly... it’s better to read the book yourself and draw your own conclusion whether it is worth your time or not. I am absolutely sure that this is one of the most significant and important books I have read!!
