Lectures on Art. Scary Tales

Tales for us – the past. They contain and cannot contain anything new, right? But we crave novelty, we eagerly gaze into the future.
The book by poet and writer Dmitry Makarov will dissuade you. «Little Red Riding Hood», «Cinderella», «Puss in Boots» and other great plots will be presented in their development, touching upon the entire centuries-old history of our society. Here there is eros and thanatos, moral and immoral, rights and wrongs, majority and minority. Tales are a barometer of European culture. From the way they are told today, one can understand in what state it is. And even guess its future. Shall we try?
But you’d better take a seat for now. Tales do not like bustle.
