They taught us that art without truth is nothing, and has no right to exist. However, some competent people had different opinions. Isaak Babel contended there is no sense for a well fabricated history to imitate real life, because life is trying to pretend to be fabricated history. Lion Feuchtwanger believed that the reality is a raw material, inaccessible to human perception. Somerset Maugham reckoned that the impression is more important than a truth in a dramaturgy. So for what extent the art requires truth?
