About the book: 1968 / The author of several novels, more than fifty plays and about five thousand stories and feuilletons, Nusic is known for his productions of the comedies "Madam Minister", "Doctor of Philosophy" , “Ordinary Man”, “Dead Man”, “Saddened Family”. In the repertoire of theaters, these comedies were usually called satirical and evoked associations with modern Soviet reality. Those days have passed, but Nušić’s plays remain and continue to attract the interest of theaters. Apparently, it was not for nothing that the writer once said: “It is better to die alive than to live dead.”».
