Yes, yes, before becoming monuments and pages of textbooks that we “pass”, describe in essays and receive grades, these people lived, loved, made mistakes and did not even think that they would ever become classics. No, of course, some people felt that they were creating a "Monument not made with hands", but most likely even he did not realize the scale.
On this tour, we will try to see a living person behind the bronze, feel the air of his era, feel the influence of his inner circle. And help us in this personal belongings, portraits of contemporaries, pages from works and diaries presented in the walls of memorial museums.
Why is that necessary? The fact is that the language of any work is a certain set of signs, symbols, concepts that make up the personality of the author. Times change and we gradually cease to understand the language of the classics. But the things they want to tell us don’t change.
This is not one, but a series of excursions. When ordering, be sure to indicate to whom our meeting will be dedicated.
