Mikhail Kazinik is an art historian, musician, writer, poet, philosopher, director, actor, playwright, educator, and one of the most erudite people of our time. Meeting him, without exaggeration, literally turns the whole world upside down — both the internal and external. As soon as we truly immerse ourselves in art, another world and other dimensions open up to us. We stop thinking only realistically, for art demonstrates to us spheres of existence that are very difficult to explain from the perspective of even the most sophisticated yet materialistic logic. In his book, the author talks not only about famous composers, poets, and artists, but also about how unexpectedly the fates and creations of those who lived in different eras and countries intertwine. These interweavings of music, literature, and painting are often not immediately noticeable, but once learned, you become so interested that you want to seek various parallels yourself. Because it is extraordinarily fascinating, because only in this way do you grow beyond yourself, beginning to see both the world and people differently. Which geniuses are discussed in the book? Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Pushkin, Pasternak, Shakespeare, Rembrandt, El Greco, Michelangelo...
