Literature at school: read or pass? Chudakova Marietta Omarovna

The new book of the outstanding Russian philologist and the historian of literature Marietta Chudakova is addressed to those “who is ready to at least try to sharply change the nature of teaching literature and the Russian language in today's Russian schools.” Chudakova is unleashed not only by the fate of an academic subject called “Literature” - her thought is much wider: to strive to ensure that those who graduated from school knew how to think, do not follow the demagogues, did not learn to hate other people; They were in no hurry in moral assessments, critically treated both universal approval and general condemnation.

"What do we have to do with it?" - Exclaiming literature teachers will be exclaimed. Very even with it. Because at least that, it seems, there is no one else.
