Beschreibung

Gore Ot Ouma, more commonly known as "Woe from Wit," is a celebrated comedy by Aleksandr Sergeevich Griboedov, presented here in a translation by N. Benardaky. A cornerstone of Russian literature, the play satirizes the manners and mores of Moscow society in the early 19th century. Through sharp wit and memorable characters, Griboedov critiques social climbing, hypocrisy, and the conflict between tradition and progressive ideas. The play centers on the protagonist, Chatsky, a well-traveled and idealistic young man who returns to Moscow hoping to reunite with his beloved, Sophia. However, he finds himself at odds with the city's shallow and conservative values. His outspoken criticism and progressive views lead to his ostracization and are misinterpreted as madness. "Woe from Wit" remains a timeless masterpiece, offering insightful commentary on societal values and the challenges of individual expression.
