This edition presents the text of A. S. Griboedov’s comedy "Woe from Wit." A detailed illustrated commentary, created using a "book-within-a-book" format, allows the reader to clarify the meanings of archaic words without breaking away from the main text, while also learning about the curious customs and mores of 19th-century Muscovites.
Immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the play, you will be surprised to notice that not much has changed in people—and, of course, you will smile, for this is truly an immortal comedy.
For anyone interested in history and poetry, and for those who read Russian classical literature with care.
Commentary text and selection of illustrations by Daria Reshetnikova.
