Sinopse

In Alexander Pushkin's 'Boris Godunov,' the narrative unfolds as a historical drama exploring the turbulent reign of Boris Godunov, the de facto ruler of Russia in the late 16th century. Pushkin's literary style masterfully blends poetic dialogue with vivid imagery, imbuing the characters with both grandeur and complexity. This play is notable for its authentic representation of Russian history, showcasing Pushkin's keen understanding of the socio-political fabric of his time, while also drawing upon the artistic traditions of European drama. Through the interplay of power, ambition, and moral dilemmas, Pushkin captures the essence of the human condition amidst the backdrop of a politically charged landscape. Alexander Pushkin, often hailed as the father of Russian literature, created enduring works that reflect the struggles and aspirations of Russian society. His personal experiences, including his own noble lineage, tumultuous political associations, and the creative environment of early 19th-century Russia, profoundly influenced 'Boris Godunov.' Pushkin's encounters with exile, censorship, and the pursuit of artistic freedom are echoed in his portrayal of complex characters wrestling with authority and identity. Readers seeking a profound understanding of the intricacies of power and its impact on both leader and populace will find 'Boris Godunov' an essential read. Pushkin's masterful use of language, combined with his deep historical insights, offers a compelling examination of the moral and ethical challenges faced by those in positions of power. This timeless work remains relevant today, inviting reflections on leadership, responsibility, and the human spirit.

    Modern Man ~ Neanderthal with Manners

    was to compare it to our relatively recent ancestors from just a hundred thousand years or so 
    - The Neanderthals. 
    Would they have been as cruel to their fellow beings as possibly we are today. What does it mean to be classified as 
    MODERN ! A modern Human ?

    Faust-The Tragedy

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    "Two souls, alas! are dwelling in my breast; and one is striving to forsake its brother."
    
    Dr. Faust is a brilliant scholar who has reached the limits of human knowledge, yet remains profoundly dissatisfied. In his thirst for infinite experience and absolute truth, he strikes a daring wager with the demon Mephistopheles: if the devil can provide a moment of such perfect bliss that Faust wishes it to never end, the devil may claim his soul. What follows is a cosmic journey through the heights of passion, the depths of despair, and the very foundations of Western civilization.
    
    From Personal Tragedy to Global Myth: In Part One, experience the intimate, heartbreaking "Gretchen Tragedy," where Faust's pursuit of earthly pleasure leads to the destruction of an innocent woman. In Part Two, the scope expands into a surreal, phantasmagoric exploration of history, politics, and classical mythology, as Faust seeks to find his place in the broader world.
    
    The Height of German Romanticism: Goethe's Faust is more than a play; it is a "World Poem" that captures the restlessness of the modern spirit. It explores the dangerous allure of progress and the redemptive power of the "Eternal Feminine." With its rich symbolism and breathtaking verse, it remains the ultimate exploration of the human condition—asking if a soul that never stops striving can ever truly be lost.
    
    Witness the wager that defined an era. Purchase "Faust" today and journey to the edge of heaven and hell.
