I see through your lovely eyes a sweet light which through my blind ones I yet cannot see; I carry with your feet a burden which with my lame ones I cannot

I fly with your wings, having none of my own; with your spirit toward heaven I am always moving; by your will I turn pale or blush, cold in the sun, warm in the coldest weather

Within your will alone is my will, my thoughts within your bosom are born, in your breath are my words. I am like the moon, alone, which our eyes cannot see in the heavens except that it is illumined by the sun

As much as I love studying Psychology, my impulsive thoughts are telling me to learn Italian & then study art history in Florence instead. I love this city so much~

Little hidden gems from big russian authors

In the 19th century, Russian culture reached its peak. In this "Russian Golden Age", arts, culture and especially literature became known worldwide. This is a list of small masterpieces written by the great Russian authors of this period.

1. Alexander Pushkin // "Little tragedies" (collection of short plays // 1830)

Pushkin is known as the first great poet of Russia. His realistic writing is combined with romantic, elegant elements. What not many people know is that he also wrote plays. "Little Tragedies" is a fascinating collection of 4 unique plays, later adapted for opera.

2. Mikhail Lermontov // "Masquerade" (theatre play // 1835)

Considered the greatest poet after Pushkin, Lermontov contributed to the enrichment of the Russian language and culture. A great romantic poet, he is also an important playwright. "Masquerade" is a play written in the specific, critical style of Lermontov, in which the idea of freedom and independence is debated.

3. Nikolai Gogol // "Petersburg Tales" (collection of short stories // 1843)

Known for his famous comedies such as "The Government Inspector" and "The Gamblers" and for the novel "Dead Souls", Gogol was an influential Russian writer. The small collection of stories "Petersburg Tales" includes a fascinating series of short stories from different genres.

4. Ivan Turgenev // "A nest of the gentry" ( short novel // 1859)

Turgenev is the Russian writer closest to the Western European literary tradition. Very critical of his fellow Russians, his novels and stories emphasize the decadence of the golden years, the war between generations and the misery of the contemporary spirit. "A nest of gentry" is a small novel easy to read, with a fascinating storyline and complex characters.

5. Fyodor Dostoyevsky // "Notes from the underground" (short novel // 1864)

I think there is no person who has not heard of Dostoevsky. One of the greatest writers of all time, his great novels have been translated into dozens of languages. Known as the faithful Orthodox writer, he develops the idea of the misery of the soul and human suffering. Many consider him the father of existentialism. "Notes from Underground" is a small novel that explores its big themes and is a fascinating read.

6. Lev Tolstoy // "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" (novella // 1886)

Tolstoy easily finds his place next to Dostoevsky. With a precious and analytical style, Tolstoy traverses the Russian bourgeois and aristocratic world and goes deep into both the mind and the soul of his characters. The novella "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" reflects on the serious theme of death in a tormented and poetic way at the same time.

7. Anton Chekhov // "Ward no.6" (novella // 1892)

The last of the great writers of the golden age, Chekhov is known as a great dramatist with an extremely refined and sometimes even dark sense of humor. He wrote most of his life comic stories that he published in satirical magazines. His least known works are the short stories, created in a much more philosophical and meditative style. "Ward no.6" is one of the most special of them, in which the doctor of a small town finds an escape from the monotony of his life in discussions with a patient from the mental ward.
