Notes from the Underground is amazing

@maria83maria Год назад

I agree and also "Dead souls" Gogol

@brandonbeacham86 Год назад

I was gonna say the same.

@shrishakumar165 4 месяца назад

i agree but i feel like for someone who is new to russian is a hard book to comprehend

@voydesvelado 2 месяца назад

@@maria83maria dead souls is one of my favorites, its kinda sad to know that its not finished and will never be, but the pleasure of reading it its close to none.

@donnaleone3818 Год назад

Just finished The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Tolstoy. Extremely short, very profound. Highly recommend for anyone not just interested in Russian literature, but for anyone looking to read a very meaningful book.

@schoolofholly5317 Год назад

I think crime and punishment was my first and I really loved it despite being 18 or 19 😀

@mimi31268 Год назад

🥰 just have to let you know that I simply adore your channel! you inspire me 🤗 very best wishes to you from south Florida ❤️ xoxo

@jjshepherd7670 Год назад

Turgenev's stuff, like 'On the Eve,' Fathers and Sons' and 'Spring Torrents' are great introductory works too. His writing is very beautiful. Mikhail Lermontov's 'A Hero of Our Time' is also a good starting point (all are short too!)

@SM-vr8dz Год назад

I’ve had We on my shelf forever, and you just reminded me of that. I need to read it. A work I would recommend is another Dostoyevsky: Notes From the Underground. A police officer bumps into a man’s shoulder and he is not over it. No, Solzhenitsyn? I figured you were gonna include One Day in theLife if Ivan Denisovich. It is very slow, but so good.

@TheBobbybare Год назад

Heart of a dog is absolutely brilliant- glad you chose that one

@burdell Год назад

Zamyatin's 'We' really needs to be read more! Glad to see it included here. I've read Lyudmila Ulitskaya's 'Big Green Tent' and thought it was very well written but didn't love it. Will definitely be checking out Sonechka

@evelynjozsa4860 Год назад

Love these recs!

@KDbooks Год назад

How many of them have you read?

@GemofBooks Год назад

I needed this video in my life! I still haven’t grown balls big enough to try a Russian, but We sounds exactly my jam! And I’m going to give C&P next year too 😄

@KDbooks Год назад

C&P is amazing! You’re gonna love it and love them

@Orcastruck 7 месяцев назад

@jackwalter5970 Год назад

Turgenev's Fathers and Sons.

@kirsten0929 Год назад

I recently read Turgenev's Fathers and Sons and loved it. I think it would be great for beginners.

@KDbooks Год назад

Turgenev is great!

@johncrwarner Год назад

I also was going to recommend Turgenev and especially Fathers and Sons I got into Turgenev's writing by seeing a German translation of Irish playwright Brian Friel's adaption of Fathers and Sons done at our local city theatre. As a result of seeing the fine production, I read the Friel play and a translation of the novel by Turgenev.

@user-kv1vr8ff5p 7 месяцев назад

Максим Горький "Макар Чудра" , "Старуха Изергиль" . Особенно "Легенда о Данко"! Они небольшие, но особенные...

@Paromita_M Год назад

Great list. Haven't read many of these. For a beginner, maybe short stories by Anton Chekhov?

@KDbooks Год назад

You know my feelings about short stories 😂

@andrewnelson3521 9 месяцев назад

Another good novella by Bulgakov: The Fatal Eggs. Influenced by H G Wells's The Food of the Gods.

@NerdyNurseReads Год назад

The Heart of The Dog is really freaking good. Have you read The Nose?

@TK-kf8zc Год назад

Vladimir Sorokin "The Day of the Oprichnik"

@abookhug Год назад

Agree about Crime & Punishment! I really need to read more of Dostoyevski

@KDbooks Год назад

My favourite is Demons if that sways you to read more 😊

@abookhug Год назад

@@KDbooks That will actually be my next one - whenever I decide to read it, it's just so big and I have a real fear of big books. (I want to read a particular Polish translation as I heard this one translator is the best, and the guy only translated Demons and Brothers K so far - I have them both on my shelf, waiting patiently)

@MisanthropyFerret Месяц назад

did you tryed an "eggs of doom" by Bulgaкov? or "The Fateful Eggs"

@Mashulyamovies Год назад

I am Russian and for me, personally, vast majority of Russian Literature was hard to read. So, I am proud of those who find power and soul resources to read russian writers)

@peterpuleo2904 Год назад

Try the short stories. Many are excellent.

@Mashulyamovies Год назад

I mean, I can deal with long novels of 3 or 4 volumes like Leo Tolstoy, I am just amazed that our Literature is cherished and loved around the world)

@bbbartolo 3 месяца назад

No Gogol? The magical realist Dickens with the fiendish satiric sense? Anyway thanks for your list -Heart of a dog may be my next investment

@Hvitlys 4 месяца назад

Hi! I 'm going to read We by Zamyatin, what should I do to prepare my reading? I find that reading classics without knowing anything (knowing nothing about the context) makes it much harder to understand and you don't grasp many things that are going on. I know nothing of Russia, Russia's history, etc. Should I look up some specific concepts or Wikipedia articles before I read the book? Thanks! :)

@KDbooks 4 месяца назад

Nah, just jump on in!

“Crime & Punishment is readable” the highest literary praise 😂

@muhlenstedt Год назад

Great list. I hate big books, the energy of discovering and the concentration ist off around the 300 pages. It is like eating the same kind of meal again and again in great amount. The only Russian author I have read is Turgenev, I will try your suggestions they sound very interesting,. Thanks.

@vasilinam5427 6 месяцев назад

Sorry for the crooked English)) In elementary school, you read Pushkin's fairy tales, Bunin's poems, Chekhov's Kashtanka, stories about the war, and everything is still fine with you. And then childhood ends because in the 5th grade (11-12 years old) you are given Turgenev "Mumu".... and then only more. Zamyatin "We", Ostrovsky "Thunderstorm", etc. At the age of 16 Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment", Sholokhov "Garnet Bracelet", Gorky "At the bottom", Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita", etc. And at the end of school you are finished off by Sholokhov "Quiet Don" and Tolstoy "War and Peace". Then they ask: why don't Russians smile enough...))))

@voske44 Год назад

NOW WE'RE TALKING!!! btw, Leo Tolstoy's short story is definitely worth a read

Stop calling me out, I really will get to Anna karenina one day....I think.... (Also, as intimidating as some of his work, he has a lot of his best stuff in shorter works like under 100 pages) Ironically, i did just read We this weekend. Astounding how blatantly the ideas were "borrowed" by the novels which followed
