Second Indian Expedition - Travels to Buddhist sites in India and Sri LankaI have been in the process of studying Dostoevsky for the past few years, mostly European history. And now I am learning about India and Sri Lanka.
But I wondered, "What do I really know about Europe, India, and Sri Lanka? What do I think I know about Europe, India, and Sri Lanka?" Coming to the University of Peradeniya made me aware of this question once again.
DostoevskyismRussian Dostoevsky by Masaryk, who was born to a serf father and a cook mother, from whom he struggled to become a philosophy professor and even the first president of the Czech Republic.
To begin with, he is a top-notch philosopher. Masaryk was also a politician with experience in world affairs, politics, and economics. He was also a great personality who was respected not only by the Czech people but also by people all over the world.
The Russian history and Dostoevsky theory told by such a grown-up was extremely stimulating.

Kafka's City of Prague and Czech LiteratureHavel's work is a scathing critique of the post-Prague Spring repressive regime, a critique that applies not only to this period but also to the present. Human beings can become like this at any time and in any place. What should we do to prevent this from happening?
This was also a tremendous work. All of Havel's works are very strong. I sincerely hope that they will be better known in Japan.
I would highly recommend this work.

This is the best impression I could get.
I can't imagine what it would be like if I saw this play live.
This was quite a shocking work. I highly recommend this work. It is a "tremendous work," but don't worry about that, as there is a commentary by Dr. Kenichi Abe. It is a wonderful commentary that makes the reading enjoyable. I highly recommend that you read the commentary before enjoying this work.
