Fateful Romanticism

Evgeny Viktorovich Zharinov is a well-known Russian writer, literary critic, publicist, and translator. He is a professor at the Department of World Literature at the Philological Faculty of the MPGU. This book by Evgeny Zharinov is dedicated to the era... of Romanticism, a contradictory moment in the history of human culture. The widespread fascination with mysticism and spiritualism coexisted with the rapid development of science and medicine, industry, and mass thinking. Romanticism revealed to humanity the mystery of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, introduced dinosaurs, gifted the canned food can, and presented the dark genius of Napoleon. Goya, Byron, Hoffmann, Chopin, Nietzsche — this is an incomplete list of geniuses born from the era of Romanticism. This book is about its influence on the development of world culture.
