Most cherez Bezdnu. Mistiki i gumanisty [Bridge over the Abyss. Mystics and Huma

'Commentary on Antiquity' is the first book by Paola Volkova, written by her on the basis of her own course of lectures 'Bridge over the Abyss,' as if throwing a bridge from one era to another, connecting the arts of different times and peoples. A brilliant teacher and storyteller, with her books, lectures and simple conversations P. Volkova instilled in students and listeners a sense of beauty, trying to awaken their interest in beauty. This book invites us on a journey through the centuries. The pages show new connections between distant forms that do not lie on the surface: from Stonehenge to the Globe Theater, from Crete to pre-Hispanic bullfighting, from the European Mediterranean to 20th century conceptualism.
