The history of the Russian theater. Gift book bound in leather.

History of the Russian theater

This book is a special look at some stages of the formation and development of the Russian theater, an original interpretation of the brightest pages in its history. It is addressed to the times when theater was a significant part of the life of our society and even became a way of life; when Russian literary classics were inextricably linked and lived side by side with the domestic drama...

The theater does not tolerate an indifferent spectator, an impartial researcher... Therefore, a successful book about the theater is always biased: in it, the sober observation of the historian is juxtaposed with the heartfelt revelation of the memoirist. The author gives brief, but expressive, largely subjective characteristics to directors and actors, about whose life and work he has the right to judge firsthand.

Russian Russian Drama history book is supplemented with articles about Russian opera and Russian ballet.
