Top 10 Great Russian Novels

[@linetb1]

"The Master and Margarita" (Russian: Мастер и Маргарита) by Mikhail Bulgakov; a favourite of mine!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

I have picked up 43 Russian books and read 6 so far. A hero of our time by Lermontov and 5 books by Turgenev, including Fathers and Sons. The problem I had with Fathers was that one of the main characters and themes was nihilism - there's no future in it! I tried The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn but I could not finish it. Warps the mind. The best Russian I have read so far by a long way is the book of short stories by Turgenev, Sketches from a hunter's album. Best wishes with your reading choices and to your channel.

Two Captains and The Open book by V.Kaverin, The Life and the Destiny by Grossman, The Dead and the Living by K.Simonov, They fought for the Motherland by Sholokhov, The Theatre Romance by M. Bulgakov, The Sail is White by V. Kataev and many , many beautiful Soviet books!😂😂😂Please don't stop at the 19-th century literature.

Same four novels for me but in a different order.

Good picks, but I'm always pressing Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin THE GOLOVLYOV FAMILY on everyone. Hilarious account of the worst family in the world. Of course there's always Ivan Goncharov's OBLOMOV, and among the newer writers I love Victor Pelevin. I found Andrei Bely's PETERSBURG fascinating along with Tolstaya's THE SLYNX. THE MASTER AND MARGARITA. Zamyatin's WE.

War and Peace Crime and Punishment Anna Karenina The Brothers Karamazov Fathers and Sons Dead Souls One Day in the Life of Ivan D. The Idiot Excellent List ! To which I’d want to add a more recent masterpiece … Life and Fate …. by Vassily Grossman Stalin is reported to have enjoyed reading ‘Life and Fate’ so much that he spared the life of the author and - instead - had the book arrested ! Presumably so that no one else could read about what the defence of Stalingrad was really like !
