Russian Book Club: Griboedov. Woe from Wit

Brilliant satire, sparkling dialogues, and phrases that have become aphorisms (“I would be happy to serve, but it’s sickening to grovel,” ” Who are the judges?”) make this play a timeless classic. “Woe from Wit” is a story about the conflict between the individual and the environment that remains relevant in any era.
