Pearls of secular literature of the Russian Middle Ages XII – XV centuries. Poetic “Zadoshchina” and furious “The Tale of Mamaev’s Battle”, heartbreaking “The Tale of the Ruin of Ryazan Batyim” and mysterious, full of literary mysteries and secrets “The Word about Igor’s Regiment”... .
They have been handwritten for centuries, read and reread, commented on and discussed. Their manuscripts burned together with the estates and monasteries, and individual copies survived only by a miracle – to convey to us not in a dry and indifferent, but in a bright, emotional artistic perception of the nameless for the most part geniuses of the Russian word and the great and dramatic history of Russia – with its feudal internecine strife and complex, ambiguous relations with the Great Steppe, the national tragedy of the Mongol-Tatar yoke and the great national upsurge that finally allowed this to be thrown away.
Works in which the past of Russia comes to life.
