Annotation

A formation of the Europeanism has to a great extent resulted from the shared experience of "great books" that were read by the European nations over the centuries. The lectures series will be concerned with some of the most significant "great books" of the European literature in the broad social context of their origin and reception including Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Vergilius' Aeneid, the Bible, Dante's Divina Commedia, Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel, Goethe's Faust etc..
