Горе от ума

The comedy "Woe from Wit" brought its author the glory of a brilliant playwright and occupied a special place in the history of Russian literature and theater. Unforgettable and realistic images, live paintings of Moscow customs, the theme of the eternal struggle of the old and new, the aphoristic style of presentation made the play interesting and understandable to the modern reader. The surnames of the heroes have long become household, many lines - textbooks, and the remarks of the characters - aphorisms: "Happy hours do not observe ...", "And the judges ...", "went into the room, fell into another", "Blessed, who is blessed, who is blessed. Believes ... ".
The publication is made out by the illustrations of the wonderful Russian artist D.N. Kardovsky
