Throughout 2020 I have studied by my own Russian literature which in my opinion is the most authentic and avant-garde of the 1800s. I would like to know what you think of this so peculiar literature.

check out anton chekhov! he was a russian playwright but you can find a bunch of his smaller novellas too. also, leo tolstoy, though his works can be pretty absurd sometimes. dostoyevsky is always great; have you read notes from the underground? ts was good

I like it! I haven't read a bunch yet, but I enjoy the way they tend to approach life. I'll be honest though, getting through crime and punishment is killing me rn lol

yes! they are SO good, I've read at least 4 books of Russian literature and seriously, two of them are the best I've ever read, one I couldn't understand and the other I cried.

i've always had an interest in Russia and its culture, and started reading some literature in the last few years
i tried reading Anna Karenina but it was boring to me, so i left it.
however, i read The Duel by Anton Chekhov and i liked it! it's a novella, so a bit shorter
yesterday i bought Petersburg Tales and Taras Baba, both by Nikolai Gogol. i read a bit of the first and i'm enjoying it.
but by far my favorite was The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov! it's an extraordinary combination of romance, religion, fantasy, and sociopolitical commentary. although this one is much more recent, from 1967, but i'd recommend it regardless
