Book Suggestions- Russian authors?

answers1: Hi ! <br>
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky ; <br>
*"Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral
dilemmas of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished St.
Petersburg ex-student who formulates and executes a plan to kill a
hated, unscrupulous pawnbroker seemingly for her money, thereby
solving his financial problems and at the same time, he argues,
ridding the world of an evil worthless parasite. Raskolnikov also
strives to be an extraordinary being, similar to Napoleon, believing
that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose." <br>

<br>
=^,,^= <br>

answers2: Of course the above posted standbys, but for something
different try <br>
Lermontov "Hero of Our Time" <br>
Mikhail Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" <br>
and then Zamyatin "We" (it's a dystopian fiction). <br>
<br>
or if you like weird, Kafka-esque stories try Gogol's short stories.
answers3: I am russian but I don't know any authors
answers4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Russian_novels
answers5
: Well there are the givens--Tolstoy (War and Peace) and
Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment--which I fully recommend). <br>
<br>
Nabokov-- "Lolita" <--fantastic.
answers6: She immigrated to america from Russia so I'm not sure if it
counts, but I love Ayn Rand. I would suggest either Anthem, The
Fountainhead, or, best of all, Atlas Shrugged. Great books.
answers7: Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky <br>
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky <br>
The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky <br>
The Brother Karamazov by Fyodor Doestoevsky <br>
Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko <br>
<br>
Individual authors of Russian literature include: <br>
Anton Chekhov, Nikolai Gogol, and Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin.
answers8: Dostoevsky is the BEST! Crime and Punishment gets a bad rap
for being boring but it is far from it. It's about several murders but
it's not a murder mystery. It's way good.
answers9: Yes, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT by Fyodor Dostoevsky. He also
wrote THE BROTHERS KARAMOZOV. Leo Tolstoy wrote ANNA KARENINA and WAR
AND PEACE. All four are masterpieces. Coming more into the modern
day era. You have LOLITA by Vladamir Nabokov and DR. ZHIVAGO by Boris
Pasternak. I hope this helps.
