A new course is planned for Kendal in September.
On three Tuesday afternoons, September 6, 13 and 20, Professor Nina Straus will lead a course in the Gathering Room: “Miracle, Mystery, Authority—Dostoevsky and Tolstoy on the ‘Russian World’.”
The themes of political and religious autocracy, social class, and the Russian ‘soul’ will be traced through three works of fiction: The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor (Dostoyevsky); The Kreutzer Sonata and The Death of Ivan Ilych (Tolstoy).
Sign-up sheets will be distributed.
