Who are your favourite Russian authors that aren't Tolstoy or Dostoevsky? Anonymous Sat Sep 9 12:49:27 2017 No.10001492 [Reply] [Original]

I need some recs.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 9 12:51:25 2017 No.10001498 Tolstoevsky is pretty good.

I liked Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, haven't read anything else from him yet. Looking forward to reading Petersburg by Bely, I've seen a lot of praise for it. Gogol's Overcoat would be a good starting story for you, and if I knew where to start with Chekhov's stories I'd probably recommend some, too.

I already got a copy (greek translation desu, a few days ago), just checked and it's the correct one. Good thing you mentioned it though, man. I didn't know there was a reduced version so other anons will keep an eye out.

>>10001492
Read Gogoljs Dead Souls.

Some other good recommendations:

Ljermontov - Hero of our time; his poetry too if you're into it.
Sholokhov - And quiet floats the Don; Stories (especially Fate of a man)
Fyodor Sologub is pretty good too.
Arseny Tarkovsky's poetry if you're into it.
Mayakovsky - same as above.
