Lovers of Russian Literature?

troller22: Any followers of the russians in here... Solzhenitsyn, Tolstoy, Dostoyevski, Turgenev..........? I'd love to connect with any fellow 'suffers'.

aDORKabiitch Bic Boi: Sergei Yesenin

alleycat09: Mikhail Bulgakov "master and Margarita" best book ever

techno_hedonist: I'd like to know more about Russian literature--it has so many passionate and devoted followers. I read Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in my first year of university and I'd like to read more. Think I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what else comes up.

Casper: Hi there.
Trully saied I can't understand Master and Margarita. It was lil bit difficult for me. But would really like to recomend you to reed 1 more book of Bulgakov - THe heart of the dog. It's 1 of my favorite book.

alleycat09: is it a play?

Casper: No. Uctually Master and Margarita not play also. I've not heart that Bulgakov had ever wrought any plays...

alleycat09: i know master and margita isnt a play, he mostly did plays

daydreams: dostoyevsky ; notes from the underground was good, mainly abt him in jail, with fantastic thinking.anton checkhov, short stories was great actually, really russian good reading, nothing complicated but deep and humanitys. Tolstoys views on life to me were like henery davids, only Tolstoy was more religous i think, very moralistic and humanity fights for rights, gotta love them.

DieFerrie: I'm a fan of Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Dostoevski. War and Peace was so good. Prince Andrei completely failed at life but his prideful, solitary tree moments are so good.

chronology: Tolstoy, Chekhov, Dostoevsky. The Russians seem to have a gift for making everyday events and mundane choirs interesting.You find your self asking yourself; 'why am I reading this'? as you sit riveted to a mundane situation unfolding in their Books. And then there is that cutting perception and insight Russians have when looking at events and people. They are almost Psychic in uncovering the secret motives and designs of people.

daydreams: i agree totally with you, yup they do seem to be able to predict the future in there writings lol, i think every hard times and struggles bring that out in man though.. maybe

chronology: True. And love does as well. Was there ever a love story like Kitty and Levin in Anna Karenina? Yet here again we see this Russian insight. Amidst the love and joy Levin feels for his wife and new born child, surrounded by security and without any real problems, Levin spends much of his time brooding about committing suicide.

Victoria_May: Im russian and dont like Dostoevskiy much.. prefer lot of works by Bulgakov, Gogol and Pushkin.
