Literature is a continuous process in world culture, and studying it across different countries and eras doesn’t provide a complete picture of its development. How are “The Lord of the Rings” and “War and Peace” similar? How did the chivalric romance and ancient literature influence Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin? What do Dostoevsky, Schiller, and Kant have in common? These and other questions are answered by the legendary lecturer, Professor Evgeny Zharinov.
The book is intended for philologists and students of the humanities, as well as for everyone interested in literature.
Evgeny Viktorovich Zharinov is a Doctor of Philology, Professor at the Department of Literature of the Moscow State Linguistic University, Professor at the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting named after M. A. Litovchin, host of the program “Labyrinths” on the Orfey radio station, and laureate of two “Golden Microphone” awards.
