/lit/ - Literature

Anything by Dostoevsky and not by Tolstoy

Ah yeah Dostoevsky.. the list goes on

Stanisław Lem for sci-fi

>>12631769
> Stanisław Lem

He asked for best Slav literature, not Jewish literature.

>>12631798
That says a lot about slavs.

If I read Turgenev's Fathers and Sons will I be able to understand Rick and Morty?

>>12631709
good slav literature is inaccessible to EOPs

What is the apex of Polish lit? Looking to get into it.

>>12631769
Lem is outdated. It's pop sci fi. He literally wrote in one of his books about spaceship flying into Sagitarius Constellation or something like that (don't remember if it was sagitarius or another but you know what i mean). He's not even the best polish sci fi author. Two best Dukaj books - Lód and Czarne oceany >everything Lem ever wrote and it's not even close.

Street of Crocodiles and Ferdyduke are both great.

Anything by Tolstoy and not by Dostoevsky

>>12631769
> Imagine thinking Lem is better than the Strugatsky brothers

>>12631709
my Collected 4chan Posts (translated in Russian).

>>12632184
>Strugatsky

>>12632018
>Lem is outdated. It's pop sci fi.
lmao
read His Master's Voice and then tell me if you still think he's "pop sci fi" (whatever that means)
>>12632080
agreed

>>12631957
Doll by Prus is pretty great, try it if you like Dickens

>>12631709
12 Years a /r9k/ Poster

Street of Crocodiles is pretty neat

Gogol's short stories

Chekov, cant be assed to read big books desu

>>12631839
that they don't write shit sf?

>>12632346
The guys who wrote the book that Stalker is based off of.

I liked Andrei Bely's Petersburg

>>12633512
the book has very little to do with the film and even tarkovski admitted this

>>12633525
And?

>>12633531
It's weird to recommend them based on the movie. But yeah Strugatskis are really good and so are Lem, both are even surprisingly similar considering both did both humorous and serious scifi

>>12633541
Was the post that you responded to a recommendation or an explanation of who they were based on how people would be most likely to know them?

>>12633556
idk im drunk af cant be assed to read everything

>>12633585
>idk im drunk af
A true Slavophile, I see.

>>12631718
correct
>>12632177
incorrect

>>12631957
Pan Tadeusz

Eugene Onegin by Pushkin

>>12632085
he's right tho. Lem really did write that and Dukaj is better than him by miles.

*blocks all your paths*

He literally cannot be defeated!

>>12631718
>>12632177
Anything Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy.

>>12631852
Fathers and Sons has a nice story to it but the nihilists portrait is really shit imo and the debate doesnt really go anywhere aside from a bad turn of events for the nihilist.
