Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Leo Tolstoy offers a critical examination of Shakespeare's works, focusing on the moral and philosophical dimensions of the playwright's characters and themes. He argues that Shakespeare's plays often lack a coherent moral purpose, leading to a disconnect between the audience and the characters. Tolstoy emphasizes the importance of truth and sincerity in literature, advocating for art that uplifts and enlightens rather than merely entertains. This insightful critique reflects Tolstoy's own beliefs about the role of art in society and its moral implications.
