Russian Literature: St. Petersburg Bridges

Petersburg teachers and methodologists will present their interpretations of works of art in author’s video lectures. By looking at the same topic from two perspectives, you will be able to build bridges between different points of view on the text — from traditional to completely unexpected, in many ways controversial, even paradoxical.

And, the more the book he has read differs from the one I have written, the better I have dealt with my task.“ But where to start when determining the individual reader’s path in the vast world of literature?
