Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course will continue to introduce students to the riches of Russian literature. We shall discuss historic and cultural contexts, literary traditions and influences alongside the authors' individual and often unique styles. We are going to eavesdrop on the conversation of Maupassant and Turgenev, and witness the amity between the latter and Flaubert. What do Tolstoy, Hemingway and Galsworthy have in common? What did Hermann Hesse inherit from Tolstoy? How does love for red and black colours result in a crime and punishment? These and many further questions will find their answers in the discussions during the course.
