Yes, it's kind of a strange slice - we get Faulkner three times and we get Joseph Conrad no fewer than four times(!), but not a single book from Dostoevsky or Tolstoy? No Bulgakov, no Turgenev? No Flaubert?
- S_Bear 1y agoLermontov's 'Hero of Our Time' is probably my favorite Russian novel, and I say that as someone who absolutely adores Dostoevsky. It still feels relevant and modern.
- int_19h 1y agoFWIW, I would argue that Tolstoy is extremely overrated as a writer (but agree with your other suggestions).
