Л. Е. П и н с к и й. Почему Бог спит / Сост., подгот. текста, предисл. и заключит. ст. А. Г. Козинцева. СПб.: Нестор-История, 2019. 136 с.
Книга названа по мениппее, посланной Л. Пинским Г. Козинцеву, «чтобы немного развлечь». Центральное место в ней занимает их переписка, основными предметами разговора в которой служат книга о Шекспире, над ней работает Пинский, и его отношение к фильму «Король Лир», снимаемому Козинцевым. Книга замечательна достоинством разговора и обменом понимания, не исключающего спора как возможности «подумать вместе» (Козинцев).
Pinsky, L. (2019). Why God is asleep. Ed. by A. Kozintsev. St. Petersburg: Nestor-Istoriya. (In Russ.)
The book is titled after the opening Menippean satire, sent by its author L. Pinsky to G. Kozintzev in order to entertain. Their correspondence (1968– 1973) follows to represent their current work. At that moment Pinsky was making desperate attempts to bring to completion his book Shakespeare. The Essential Elements of Drama [Shekspir. Osnovnye nachala dramaturgii]. Kozintsev in his turn was filming King Lear and enjoyed the worldwide success in 1971. Pinsky was among those who were disappointed with the work done by his friend. According to him both the sense of the heroic and a comic attitude towards heroism were lost in the film. The book is remarkable for the dignity of conversation on both sides and exchange of comprehension that does not rule our disagreement but, on the contrary, invites to the polemics as a form of ‘thinking together’ (Kozintsev).
The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest present.
