Mikhail Kazinik – 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 entire world upside down – both internal and external.
In his book, he tells not only about famous composers, writers, and artists but also about how unexpectedly the fates and creations of those who lived in different eras and countries intertwine. These intertwining of music, literature, and painting are often not immediately noticeable, and upon learning, you will become so interested that you will want to seek various parallels yourself. Because it is extraordinarily interesting, because only in this way do you grow beyond yourself, begin to see both the world and people differently.
Which geniuses are discussed in the book? About Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Pasternak, Shakespeare, Kafka, Rembrandt, El Greco, Michelangelo…
