Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Do you want 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? How does the issue of 'folly', 'madness' and 'insanity' unite Russian and world literature? These and many further questions will find their answers in the discussions during the course, which will continue to introduce you to the riches of Russian literature (no previous course attendance is required). We shall discuss historical and cultural contexts, literary traditions and influences alongside the authors' individual and often unique styles.
