Hey everyone, I'm doing some contextual research on the Russian Revolution for a text I'm studying in English Literature, and it got me thinking about Russian poets, novelists and playwrights. The only Russian writers I have on my shelf, are Fyodor Dostoevsky and Mikhail Bulgakov, but One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (that's a mouthful) has been recommended to me, as has a collection I can't remember the name of, by Anton Chekhov. Does anyone have any Russian writers they would recommend? I'm looking for poets and playwrights in particular, but anything is fine. I absolutely love learning about Russia and would love to go one day, ironically. Thanks in advance.
Vladimir Nabokov Anna Akhmatova Alexander Pushkin Nikolai Gogol Maxim Gorky Leo Tolstoy Marina Tsvetaeva Sophia Parnok And yes, Chekhov Among writers I love....
I forgot Nabokov was Russian, I have Lolita on my shelf. :lol: Thanks so much for the list! I'll check some of them out, especially Pushkin, I've heard good things about him. And Chekhov. And Tolstoy. :lol:
