Confessions of a Literary Scholar: How to Understand Books from Dostoevsky to King
14.99 €
There are no major literary analyses in this book. And what is the point of them after the works of Bakhtin, Lotman, Dunaev and Nabokov? Before you is a story about how literature intertwines with the life of an ordinary person and how you can find answers to all important questions in it - you just have to choose the right moment to read, see and hear the clues that writers have hidden in the pages of their works. The author of this book, philologist, journalist and blogger Nikolai Zharinov, talks about the books that accompanied him throughout the most significant and turning points in his life. We see how the attitude to Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment changes with age, why King's books become the best friends of teenagers, and how Bunin managed to turn vulgar stories into true art. This is a confession, subjective from beginning to end, personal, not pretending to be the truth. Argue, disagree, criticize - nothing is forbidden. After all, literature can only be truly understood by experiencing it through your own emotions.
