High Society Reception. Teacher Gnus
9.99 €
“The Great Reception” is a chronicle of lost time, which opens before the reader not only a panorama of human destinies, but also the underside of life and feelings.
The novel takes place in a mansion, where persistently, hour by hour, stretches a high-society reception, whose participants are bored and entertained, philosophize and flirt, break hearts and experience personal “little tragedies”.

" Teacher Gnus is a novel written at the junction of psychological realism and social satire, which was severely criticized, and after the release of the film Blue Angel (1930) with the legendary Marlene Dietrich in the title role received worldwide fame.
Epochs change, but in the gymnasium of a small provincial town, the teacher Nuss, nicknamed Gnus, is still tyrannized by students - a vengeful despot, the true embodiment of a power lover. Who is he? A real person or a symbol of time who stubbornly does not want to retreat to the trends of the future?
