Finished Crime and Punishment, Notes from Underground, White Nights, and Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Looking to jump into one of these five neaxt.Which one should I tackle and why?
>>25599743#5 because it is basic canon
>>25599743From the list? The Brothers Karamazov because you seem to have a Dostoyevsky fixation and it's his best book. Hopefully reading TBK cures you of this and you can pick up Pushkin.
what about A Dog's Heart?
>>25599743Mastering Bolshevism - J.S
>>25599743If you decide to go for Demons, read Turgenev's Fathers and Sons first. Your reading of Demons would benefit from having a basic idea of the intellectual conflicts of the time. For that reason I would put Demons last.
Five, because Master and Margarita is weak compared to Dostoevsky's work and Brothers K is the best of the 4 Dostoevsky you suggested from my understanding.
>>25599743TBK and it's not even close.
Why do anglo pigs put Russian lit on a pedestal? It's like japan obsession but with slav dicks
what about this shit?
>>25599743The only Dostoevsky book you should read there is TBK.
>>25600942Any book that makes you laugh in the beginning and cry at the end is very good. The middle part is packed with too much lovey-dovey crap, but overall it's excellent.
