Alexander Griboedov's Woe from Wit is one of the masterpieces of Russian drama. A verse comedy set in Moscow high society after the Napoleonic wars, it offers sharply drawn characters and clever repartee, mixing meticulously crafted banter and biting social critique. Its protagonist, Alexander Chatsky, is an idealistic ironist, a complex Romantic figure who would be echoed in Russian literature from Pushkin onward. Chatsky returns from three years abroad hoping to rekindle a romance with his childhood sweetheart, Sophie. In the meantime, she has fallen in love with Molchalin, her reactionary father Famusov's scheming secretary. Chatsky speaks out against the hypocrisy of aristocratic society--and as scandal erupts, he is met with accusations of madness. Woe from Wit was written in 1823 and was an immediate sensation, but under heavy-handed tsarist censorship, it was not published in full until forty years later. Its influence is felt not just in Russian literary language but in everyday speech. It is the source of a remarkable number of frequently quoted aphorisms and turns of phrase, comparable to Shakespeare's influence on English. Yet owing to its complex rhyme scheme and verse structure, the play has frequently been considered almost untranslatable. Betsy Hulick's translation brings Griboedov's sparkling wit, spirited dialogue, and effortless crossing of registers from elevated to colloquial into a lively contemporary English.Binding Type: Paperback

It's a job but totally worth it
Size: 36 sqft
Pack a lunch when you tackle this project boys.. its a doozy!! Month in going great so far definetly did what I purchased it to do. 2000 chevy with two p3 10s every bass drop sounded like an old firebird with loose trunk bolts. Threw this on the back walls floor underneath the speaker and the doors.. all that energy is now in the cab with me instead of getting lost in rattling metal!! Love it!!! Left a few pieces outside after I was done rained like hell on them so water doesnt hurt this stuff at all or direct sunlight in south mississippi.. good stuff pick this up and make them systems thud instead of rattle!!! You wont regret it!! I didn't!!

Reasonably priced sound deadening
Size: 18 sqft
Easy to cut with a carpet knife. I used a heatgun to make it stickier and more moldable. The foil isn't so thick that you risk cutting yourself like some Dynamat variants.
