Ayn Rand: "Bent and Unbroken" - Reading and discussion with Marko Exner
Writing under dictatorship - the example of Russia
Whether in 1926, 1931 or 2022 - over the past hundred years, countless authors in the former Soviet Union under Stalin or today's Putin's Russia have been forced to leave their homeland.
Texts by Yevgeny Zamyatin, Ayn Rand and Lyudmila Ulitskaya are presented on behalf of many others.
Ayn Rand "Bent and unbroken"
The novel is "not a story about Soviet Russia in 1925. It is a story about dictatorship, any dictatorship, anywhere, anytime..."
The author, born Alissa Zinovieva Rosenbaum in St. Petersburg in 1905, emigrated to the USA in 1926. Of Kira, her heroine, she says "... the respective events in Kira's life were not mine, her ideas, convictions and values were and are."
The lecture series presents works and authors and offers the audience the usual opportunity to discuss them over a glass of wine in the cosy atmosphere of Gräfe's Wein & Fein.
For organisational reasons, please register exclusively via the VHS.
