Is War and Peace boring, or is the Maude translation particularly terrible?

Not really

Tolstoy

>>11563653
Dostoevsky

>>11563653
Dosto is more kino, Tolstoy is for hippies.

>>11563653
Both are good but Tolstoy is more in touch with the human. Whether that makes him a better writer is a question of aesthetics, but I think it does

Also Dostoevsky in a fight with Tolstoy would get fucking bodied. No question. Like Tolstoy would wipe that prissy little bard. I know Tolstoy was a pacifist but he'd probably make an exception for Dostoevsky. He'd probably take his time too, teach that little fag a lesson he wouldn't forget. If Tolstoy met Dostoevsky it would be some Raskalnikov shit. Dostoevsky would hobble away with twice as many bones as when the fight started. I bet Tolstoy would do some crazy shit too, like throw him about like a pro wrestler. He'd fuckin pick Dostoevsky up by his ears and piledrive him into the ground, fuckin spin him around on one finger like a pizza and toss him in an oven. He'd probably make Dostoevsky suck his dick for good measure too. Ha try writing more books now you little faggot.

Dosto would wipe the floor with Tolstoy. He was hardened man who saw the shittiest side of mankind and learned from it while Tolstoy was a rich faggot who was a pacifist on top of all. Dosto would beat the shit out of posh hippie faggot that was Tolstoy.

>>11563733
Tolstoy would cry after Dostoevsky schooled him on orthodoxy and the need of smashing the turk

>>11563653
tolstoy was a slave rapist and dosty was a reactionary nationalist

FUCK

>>11563763
dosty all the way, even his titles were better

>>11563733
Dostoevsky was in a fuckin gulag, he tough

>>11563761
>smashing the turk

God yes

>>11563846
nice meme my dood

>>11563653
Tolstoy all the way. He understood humans and things more deeply than Dostoevsky who was too afraid of the fall of orthodoxy.

>>11563683
>Christian anarcho-primitivist
Yeah no thanks I Dosto is better

>>11563990
> heretic Christian anarcho-primitivist
Pick that up.

Who would be the better memer?

God damn, dostofags are delusional

If Dostoevsky so much as gave based Leo lip, even the slightest bit of mouthing off from that little rat homosexual, Tolstoy would take him on a straight tour bus through pain town. That scraggly bald gambling queer would wish, oh how he'd wish, he was back in the gulag getting his holes stuffed by his cell mate Igor the Nihilist, if Tolstoy decided to show him a thing or two about what it means to be a man. Leo Tolstoy, who could do 80 push-ups when he was 70 by the way, would pinch Dostoevsky's little goblin eyebrows, and pluck them hair by hair. He'd lick his fingers and stick them one after the other in Dostoevsky's gay ears (yuck!) and all the while Dostoevsky would be protesting and trying to swat Leo's strong muscular arms away but he wouldn't be able to do anything, because he was a little bitch.

Face it, nerds. Dostoevsky, for all his appreciable literary talents, was a weak lesbian bitch and Leo Tolstoy would far outmatch him in *any* physical test

>rat homosexual
Excuse me?
> "I have never been in love with a woman,” the entry read, “but I have quite often fallen in love with a man. . . . I feel in love with a man before I knew what pederasty was. . . . Beauty has always been a powerful factor in my attractions; there is D—, for example. I shall never forget the night we left Pirogovo together, when, wrapped up in my blanket, I wanted to devour him with kisses and weep. Sexual desire was not totally absent, but it was impossible to say what role it played." - Leo Boytoy

lol tolstoy was an absolute faggot in every way possible

>>11564254
wtf is your problem? dig out his cadaver and blow him already, I hope that chunk of carrion tastes good in your mouth, you filthy cocksucker.

>>11563653
Are we talking about them as persons or as writers? Because you should probably separate those things.
As a human being, Dostoevsky is far superior, and I don't understand how anyone can take Tolstoy's self-loathing and peasant shenanigans seriously
Personally I enjoy Dostoevsky's writing more too, but Tolstoy may've accumulatively produced more important writings, especially if you account for his publicistic work

>The Chad Dosto
>the virgin tolsoyboy

>>11564254
This is your friendly reminder that Tolstoy literally
LITERALLY
roleplayed like he was a peasant and regularly broke down emotionally because he felt guilty about having sex with his wife, before knocking her up (again and feeling guilty about it again, etc.)

>>11563733
This made me want a tekken-style game, where all the characters you pick from are writers / philosophers.

>>11563653
boys...i don't mean to alarm anyone, but tolstoy looks the way Dosto described Svidrigailov...

>>11563653
What are they debating though OP? Not really a great way to start off a thread now is it?
