| Hello, people. I want to ask about Russian literature. Is there anyone who have read something of that? It is interesting for me, how popular these books are round the globe. Has anyone appreciated anything from that or maybe you think, it's little strange? Thanks |

Вик привет. Добро пожаловать на наш сайт! Как дела в Киве? I read a couple of Russian books you might never heard of such as "Как закалялась сталь" and "Мы" by Евгений Замятин.

I read quite a lot of Russian literature, such as Tolstoj, Dostoevskij, Puskin, Solzenicyn, Marinina, Goncarov.. I loved very much all of them despite their difference. |

| Thanks for greeting, Torsten, do you speak Russian? Kiev seems to be fine, well, up to September 1 and our traffic congestions. I have the first book you've mentioned in my library, however I've never read it. Did you read it in origin? Site is very helpful. Good luck. |

I've read "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky. I liked it. I kept wanting to shout at Raskolnikov, "Stop acting so guilty! Just be cool!" _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

It is one of my favourite, maybe the best, what I've read. Not for a skim read, because there's no ''water'' in this book. Every page really means and it isn't boring imho. Dark, depressing to some degree, but not boring. And it's all about human's psychic, so deeply, so clear, so striking. I think Tolstoj and Dostoevsky are the most known worldwide among classics, but Tolstoj wrote more about society and politic problems, famous epic masterpieces, and that might be not interesting. Dostoevsky is more about deep inside of humans. If anyone asked something Russian to read, I would recommend "Crime and Punishment" at first, I think. |
