The Bridge over the Abyss. Commentary on Antiquity

The Bridge over the Abyss. Commentary on Antiquity

"Commentary on Antiquity" — the first book by Paola Volkova, written based on her own lecture course "The Bridge over the Abyss". The image of the bridge, according to Paola Dmitrievna herself, was chosen not by chance — the author... thoroughly introduces the reader to the masterpieces of world culture, as if throwing a bridge from one era to another, connecting the arts of different times and peoples. A brilliant teacher and storyteller, P. Volkova instilled in her students and listeners a sense of beauty through her books, lectures, and simple conversations, trying to awaken in them an interest in the beautiful. This book invites us on a journey through the centuries. Its pages trace new connections between distant forms that do not lie on the surface: from Stonehenge to the Globe Theatre, from Crete to the Spanish bullfight, from the European Mediterranean to 20th-century conceptualism.
