Басни Ивана Крылова

Rate this book
«...Басня есть поэзия рассудка. Она не требует глубокого вдохновения, которое производится внезапным проникновением в таинство абсолютной мысли; она требует того одушевления, которое так свойственно людям с тихою и спокойною натурою, с беспечным и в то же время наблюдательным характером и которое бывает плодом природной веселости духа. Содержание басни составляет житейская, обиходная мудрость, уроки повседневной опытности в сфере семейного и общественного быта...»

About the author

Vissarion Grigoryevich Belinsky

303 books15 followers
(Russian: Виссарион Григорьевич Белинский) was a Russian literary critic of Westernizing tendency. Belinsky played one of the key roles in the career of poet and publisher Nikolay Nekrasov and his popular magazine Sovremennik. He was the most influential of the Westernizers, especially among the younger generation. He worked primarily as a literary critic, because that area was less heavily censored than political pamphlets. He agreed with Slavophiles that society had precedence over individualism, but he insisted the society had to allow the expression of individual ideas and rights. He strongly opposed Slavophiles on the role of Orthodoxy, which he considered a retrograde force. He emphasized reason and knowledge, and attacked autocracy and theocracy.[
