Paradoxes of Geniuses

Mikhail Kazinik — art critic, 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 entire world upside down — both the inner and outer.

"To... follow the thoughts of a great man is the most fascinating science," wrote Alexander Pushkin. Which great people are we talking about in the new book by the author "Paradoxes of Geniuses"? About Pushkin, Gogol, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Andersen, Khlebnikov, Goethe, Batyushkov, Vyazemskiy...

Mikhail Kazinik tells easily yet deeply about poetry and truth, about rhyme and idea, reality and fiction, unfolds the hidden layers of meanings of well-known works, follows the statements of great people, and examines what makes a person truly great.
