All Fonvizin

Denis Ivanovich Fonvizin is a Russian writer, creator of Russian household comedy. Fonvizin, a satirical mind, saw the inside of things; he laughed bitterly at this semi-barbaric society, at his attempts at civilization. In the works of this writer, the demonic beginning of sarcasm and indignation was first revealed, which was destined since then to permeate all Russian literature, becoming the dominant trend in it. In this irony, in this scourging, sparing nothing, even the personality of the author himself, we find some joy of revenge, malevolent consolation; with this laugh, we break the connection that exists between us and those amphibians who, not knowing how to preserve their barbaric state or assimilate civilization, are the only ones that are held on the official surface of Russian society. A tireless protest relentlessly pursued this anomaly. He was hot, unceasing.
