Description

After listening to Nikolai Semenovich Leskov’s audiobook “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District,” questions arise in the mind: can passion be called love? Can love—which is supposed to create, push a person toward goodness—lead them to murder? Can a person be happy if they are consumed by real, but in some places vulgar, wild, brutal love? Nikolai Semenovich created not a naturalistic work, but a love drama that lifts the veil over the mystery of the human soul and reveals one of the million manifestations of love.
