Second chart.

>>23122693
There's still a lot of Russian classics you haven't gone over yet. Definitely check out Gogol's short stories, Pushkin's work, some of Turgenev's most famous works (Fathers and Sons, First Love, and Hunter's Sketches) and at least some of Chekhov's short stories (and his plays if you're into that as well). I haven't read A Hero of Our Time, Oblomov, or Tolstoy's other short stories yet, but those are bound to be great as well.

I myself haven't hard focused on other cultures like this, so I can't tell you which are similar. You can just try a few works from different cultures, like German, English, French, or Japanese, and see which ones you enjoy the most. Just know that if you're enjoying Russian literature, there's nothing wrong with just reading more!

Yeah, charts!

My shelves look like a compulsory-reading list from high-school (i.e. they're mostly entry level), so my opinion is worth little, but here it goes:
>Dostoevsky
Brothers Karamazov and Notes from the underground are some of my favorite books period.
>Tolstoy
Loved Anna Karenina, disliked The death of Ivan Ilyich (too heavy-handed)
>Zamyatin
Read him at 16 because I heard We was an inspiration for Orwell, whose books I loved at the time. It certainly is, but the book itself wasn't anything special.
>Bulgakov
Currently reading Master and Margarita and loving it
>Gogol
Dead souls is great, but I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it when I first read it and lost interest halfway through. Same with his short story collections.
Pic-related is a chart I think might be useful.

I've been using this chart to get into Russian literature, and I was wondering (since it's the only Russian chart out there) whether it's actually complete or not.
What's missing on here? Any other essentials that should be on here?
There is no Pushkin at all on here, no And Quiet Flows the Don, no Mother. Should they be on here? (Is that poetry rule they applied reasonable enough to not include Eugene Onegin?)

Which ones have you read? What did you think of them? Are there books that should be on this list but aren't?

Maybe this will help

Pic related is unironically gigabased because it includes several works from the 20th-century onwards.
NYRB also publishes a great selection of relatively lesser-known Russian lit. Columbia University Press' Russian Library also has a great selection of Russian lit, most of which was untranslated prior to their publication.

Give some charts for russian writters.

does she like math or science? I have a lot of book recommendations for those. For philosophy there's plenty of recommendations on this board. /lit/ even has a wiki for recommendations http://4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_Reading/sub
For literature recommendations, I'd personally recommend the Russian authors. like pic below.

I'm Russian, so I have no idea about the translation quality. Most people agree that Pushkin started Russian literature as we know it and was followed by Gogol and Lermontov. Their writings all influenced each other and everybody who stepped in after them, so I would suggest starting with them if you want to get the whole picture.

The absolute essentials for a westerner, IMHO, are Dostoevsky, Bulgakov and Solzhenitsyn. Probably Tolstoy and Chekhov. I never understood why you guys like these two so much, but they seem to be popular and influential abroad. Picrelated looks like an OK chart, although I'd pass on Saltykov-Schedrin and Tale of the Troika (if you're into sci-fi, try their other works like 'Hard to Be a God' or 'Monday Begins on Saturday'). And, of course, read 'The Gulag Archipelago'.

Not gonna make it. I'm also not telling you not to take Solzhenitsyn with a grain of salt, but it's the kind of book you really need to "understand" Tsarist Russia in relationship with the USSR to both understand WHY what happened happened and the SIGNIFICANCE of Solzhenitsyn's writing. You could read some history/political textbook for sure on Russia, but the really /lit/ way is to just read literature from both time periods. They're remarkably different yet still remarkably similar in the "Russian magic" that makes their books one of the best in the world, and know that anyone who says good Russian lit ended before the rise of Communism is a huge pseud

Just all of them

Check the sticky next time friend-o. Undoubtedly you will want some translations for the Iliad and the Odyssey, Fagles for beginners and Lattimore if you're already well-versed on poetry

Fuckin-hell. And also a Russian one, though the contents of this can be disputed

>>8732829
The ONLY correct Dostoevsky order:
>C&P
>Notes
>The Gambler
>The Double
>The Idiot
>Brothers Karamazov
>Demons

Also pic is a chart I found that needs some fixes but is still pretty good
