Love after the fourth plot. Skulskaya E.

In front of you is a book about literature - a paradoxical, bright, created not only a literary critic, but primarily an excellent writer.

in the first, “Russian”, its parts are twenty -four love stories that were not happened with authors, but only with their heroes. Love in Russian literature, according to the author, stands at the intersection of duty and prohibition of almost the entire golden 19th century. Further, a lot is changing... The duty is stronger and more durable than love, but the prohibition is good that you can rebel and die against it like ancient Greeks.

in the second, “World”, part of this book is also twenty -four stories. Of the twenty -four countries. But not about love, but about the fifth plot. The author disputes the statement of the famous Argentine writer and philosopher Jorge Luis Borges, who came to the conclusion that there are only four plots in literature. Elena Skulskaya insists: those who embodied the fifth plot in literature changed not only her history, but also the history of mankind.
