Once I was buying a new alarm clock when I saw a thief. I just paid for my watch when I saw an elderly woman, who was slowly putting a silver plate into the bag she was carrying. Then she went to the opposite side of the shop and took an expensive watch. She thought that nobody was looking at her and dropped it in her bag. Before I could tell the police about it, she noticed that I was watching her and hurried to the entrance. Unfortunately for her, two policemen were passing by and she ran right into them.

В центре внимания научных работ, которые составили настоящий сборник, находится актуальная проблематика транснациональных процессов в русской литературе и культуре.

Книга рассказывает о жизни и сочинениях великого французского драматурга ХVП века Жана Расина. В ходе повествования с помощью подлинных документов эпохи воссоздаются богословские диспуты, дворцовые интриги, литературные битвы, домашние заботы. Действующими лицами этого рассказа становятся Людовик XIV и его вельможи, поэты и актрисы, философы и королевские фаворитки, монахини и отравительницы современники, предшественники и потомки. Все они помогают разгадывать тайну расиновской судьбы и расиновского театра и тем самым добавляют пищи для размышлений об одной из центральных проблем в культуре: взаимоотношениях религии, морали и искусства. Автор книги переводчик и публицист Юлия Александровна Гинзбург (1941 2010), известная читателю по переводам «Калигулы» Камю и «Мыслей» Паскаля, «Принцессы Клевской» г-жи де Лафайет и «Дамы с камелиями» А.

Книга известного литературоведа, доктора филологических наук Бориса Соколова раскрывает тайны четырех самых великих романов Федора Достоевского – «Преступление и наказание», «Идиот», «Бесы» и «Братья Карамазовы». По всем этим книгам не раз снимались художественные фильмы и сериалы, многие из которых вошли в сокровищницу мирового киноискусства, они с успехом инсценировались во многих театрах мира. Каково было истинное происхождение рода Достоевских? Каким был путь Достоевского к Богу и как это отразилось в его романах? Как личные душевные переживания писателя отразились в его произведениях? Кто был прототипами революционных «бесов»? Что роднит Николая Ставрогина с былинным богатырем? Каким образом повлиял на Достоевского скандально известный маркиз де Сад? Какая поэма послужила источником знаменитой легенды о «Великом инквизиторе»? Какой должна была быть судьба героев «Братьев Карамазовых» в так и ненаписанном Федором Михайловичем втором томе романа? На эти и другие вопросы о жизни и творчестве Достоевского читатель найдет ответы в этой книге.
Институт литературы в России начал складываться в царствование Елизаветы Петровны (1741–1761). Его становление было тесно связано с практиками придворного патронажа – расцвет словесности считался важным признаком процветающего монархического государства. Развивая работы литературоведов, изучавших связи русской словесности XVIII века и государственности, К. Осповат ставит теоретический вопрос о взаимодействии между поэтикой и политикой, между литературной формой, писательской деятельностью и абсолютистской моделью общества.
