Description
The school library introduces its listeners to one of the most well-known representatives of the Silver Age of Russian literature, the writer of great talent Leonid Andreev. In the novella “Red Laughter,” created during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, the writer paints a picture of the horrors of war and manages to explain—very clearly and briefly—its monstrous absurdity.
“Judas Iscariot” is one of the greatest works of Russian and world literature. Do you remember who betrayed Christ? Imagine, for a second, that Judas of Kerioth was a good man. Not just good, but more than that— the first among the best, the best, the closest to Christ. Think about it… Terrifying. Terrifying because it’s unclear who we are, if he is good?!
