Mozart and Salieri

Book Review

Alexander Pushkin's «Mozart and Salieri» is a dramatic miniature that explores the theme of envy and genius. The plot centers on the conflict between two composers: the brilliant Mozart and the envious Salieri. Pushkin masterfully conveys Salieri's inner struggles, his battle with his own feelings and moral principles. Critics note that Pushkin raises important questions about the nature of talent and envy, and how these feelings can destroy a person. Special attention is given to the language and style of the work, which emphasize the drama and depth of the conflict. The play is also considered a philosophical reflection on fate and justice, making it relevant even today.
