Russian Literature: Passion and Power

At the Lectory "Direct Speech," outstanding scholars, writers, actors, and science popularizers speak every day. Their assessments and opinions often do not coincide with the established point of view – ideas, thoughts, and discoveries are born right before the listeners' eyes.
For ten years now, the visiting card of "Direct Speech" has been Dmitry Bykov's lectures on literature. Bykov teaches to turn to familiar texts for advice and comfort, to seek and find answers to the challenges of a new day within them. His lectures are always events. Now they are also available in book format.
