Il giovane studioso Anton Lizavin, nel compilare una tesi sugli scrittori della sua regione, si imbatte nel nome di Simeon Milaševič, una figura marginale e dimenticata, eppure velata di fascino e mistero. Indagando negli archivi, Anton rinviene un piccolo baule pieno di carte apparentemente senza valore, ma sulle quali sono annotati appunti sparsi, riflessioni sospese e aforismi densi di complessità: sono involucri di caramelle che Milaševič ha utilizzato per riversarvi i suoi pensieri, nascondendovi una rivelazione assoluta che Anton è determinato a decifrare.

The main story begins in 1805 with Napoleon's impending invasion of Austria, and ends with his disastrous retreat from Moscow in 1813, moving deftly between geopolitics, military strategy, family alliances, religion and philosophy as the men and women of these families try to survive and get ahead.

После развода ее родителей прошло десять лет. Теперь, дочь встречает отца-дальнобойщика и отправляется с ним в дорогу. Их путь лежит через центральную Россию и южные регионы, где их окружает необъятная степь. «Степь» — очень личный роман, пропущенный Оксаной Васякиной через призму своих переживаний. Язык «Степи» — это символизм, поиск образов в пейзажах из окна фуры и глубокие эмоциональные и философские размышления – обо всем что порой так контрастно, но нескончаемо актуально: о жизни и смерти, болезни и здравии, родителях и детях, мужском и женском.

Сюжет основан на реальных фактах из жизни промышленного Урала XIX века. Глубина и художественная сила, с которыми изображается в романе победное шествие капитализма, буржуазные взаимоотношения, исключающие какие-либо нравственные нормы, — поразительны. Автор поставил перед собой задачу показать Россию в её движении по капиталистическому пути, и сделал это первым.

Доктрине прогресса (поступательного развития), которая господствовала в умах европейцев с наступлением эпохи Просвещения, Ницше противопоставил учение о вечном возвращении, о цикличности любого развития. Только сверхчеловек способен с готовностью принять бесконечное возвращение однажды пережитого, включая самые горькие минуты. Отличие такого существа от обычного человека, по Ницше, в порядке отличия человека от обезьяны.

Leo Tolstoy began his trilogy Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth in his early twenties. Although he would in his old age famously dismiss it as an ‘awkward mixture of fact and fiction’, generations of readers and listeners have not agreed, finding the series to be a charming and insightful portrait of inner growth against the background of a world limned with extraordinary clarity, grace and color.

Dmitry Andreich Olenin, in the hope of escaping the hollowness of his privilege, joins the army and heads to the Caucasus. There among the foothills he will meet the Cossacks: a people he considers to be at one with the land. In their company he will hunt, he will drink, he will fall in love and, slowly, he will begin to understand that between people, between cultures, there is often a space that cannot be traversed.

Hailed as a masterpiece on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his dying so much as a passing thought. But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise, he is brought face to face with his own mortality.

In 1851 Leo Tolstoy enlisted in the Russian army and was sent to the Caucasus to help defeat the Chechens. During this war a great Avar chieftain, Hadji Murád, broke with the Chechen leader Shamil and fled to the Russians for safety.

The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirées alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence.

Wie hilft uns Literatur in den dunkelsten und einsamsten Momenten des Lebens? Und wie schreibe ich selbst über den Schmerz ohne Pathos, einfach und klar? Helga Schubert hat so viel bei Anton Tschechow gelernt. Über das Leben und das Schreiben. Helga Schubert erzählt in diesem persönlichen, traurig-schönen Buch von ihrer ersten Begegnung mit Tschechow, ihrer ersten Lektüre seiner Erzählung "Gram", die sie erschüttert und gerettet hat.

Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy

This short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky was first published in 1848. A man walking past a wedding is reminded of a children’s New Year’s Eve party he attended 5 years previously – a party that was clearly an excuse for the parents to make advantageous connections in a casual setting. As an outsider at the party, he was able to observe the guests in greater detail than most, and took particular note of the children playing by the Christmas tree, and the social hierarchy they unwittingly participated in. This recording is based on the 1918 translation by Constance Garnett.

March 1917 tells the story of the Russian Revolution itself, during which not only does the Imperial government melt in the face of the mob, but the leaders of the opposition prove utterly incapable of controlling the course of events. The absorbing narrative tells the stories of more than fifty characters during the days when the Russian Empire begins to crumble. The anti-Tsarist bourgeois opposition, horrified by the violence, scrambles to declare that it is provisionally taking power, while socialists immediately create a Soviet alternative to undermine it.

Nicht der Leser ist der "Dummie“, es ist auch nicht die auffällig oft auftretende Figur in der russischen Literatur (nicht nur) sondern es sind ebenso die Autoren und ihre Anhänger, die sich der Anmaßung dieser Literaten gedankenlos unterwerfen. Denn mal ehrlich: Was ist das Großartige, das Weltverändernde an der russischen Literatur, der russischen Seele? Dass sie das von sich selber glaubt? Ist ihre Literatur unter all dem Größenwahn tatsächlich eine gute? Sir Galahad, die leuchtende Rittergestalt, ist dem Phänomen im Jahre 1925 auf der Spur.

Leo Tolstoi, Russlands großer Schriftsteller, schrieb nicht nur über "Krieg und Frieden" oder "Anna Karenina". Er schrieb auch über etwas so scheinbar Banales wie ein altes, krankes Pferd namens "Leinwandmesser". In fünf Nächten erzählt es den jüngeren Stallgenossen seine Lebensgeschichte von der einstigen Berühmtheit bis zu seinem späteren Verfall. Eindrucksvoll setzt Tolstoi dabei den menschlichen und den tierischen Niedergang in Beziehung zueinander.

In 2014, Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression.

È la vicenda di due amici appena usciti dall'università di Pietroburgo: Arkadij Kirsanov, figlio di un proprietario terriero, e Evgenij Bazarov, il giovane medico che crede soltanto nelle scienze sperimentali, il nichilista, campione di una società di tecnici, che non è ancora nata.

Пастернаком надо переболеть. Не так как корью или гриппом, а так, как болеют высокой идеей, мучаясь от невозможности до конца постигнуть, сравнивая свои силы и возможности с силами и возможностями того, кто стал открытием, чьими глазами ты вдруг посмотрел на мир и удивился его цельности, яркости, необычности, его высокому трагизму. Как болел сам Борис Пастернак, найдя в поэзии свою почву, призвание и судьбу. Его поэзия вобрала в себя и страсть к музыке, и интерес к философии.

Серебряный век... Так называют удивительный период в истории русской культуры, начавшийся в конце XIX столетия и прерванный октябрьским переворотом 1917 года. Это была сложнейшая пора в истории России, пора войн, революций и интеллектуальных прозрений.
