Delve into the creation of a literary masterpiece with “War and Peace: From Concept to Myth,” an 8-lecture series from the Magisteria project. Presented by Ilya Bendersky, a researcher of Leo Tolstoy’s work and a lecturer at the HSE Faculty of Humanities, this course explores how the novel’s concept was conceived and transformed during the writing process.
The series examines the complex history of the novel’s publication and its reception. Two lectures focus on Tolstoy’s views on history and how professional historians and researchers of the 1812 Patriotic War have interpreted his work. A dedicated lecture traces the novel’s reception in Russia and the USSR—its perception before and after 1917, during the Great Patriotic War, and in the post-war period.
The final lecture addresses the influence of Tolstoy’s ideas from “War and Peace” on subsequent philosophical thought. This course offers a structured, academic look at the novel’s evolution and its enduring cultural impact. Price: 860.00 RUR.
