I need a recommendation /lit/ gf is final year Russian student

>>8747343
Tolstoevsky

you think you will impress her but theres a better chance at making it obvious how little you know about the subject

Vodka and a Putin poster

>>8747343
If you have acess to people in russia you can take any other girl here, foreigners in russia have many attention by russian girl and dont need stop in only one girl from here. All tan whores you know it. Foreignes in russia have special respect. It's my main recommendation to you.

You can read in russian? Many good obscure literature have only in russian language

>>8747351
I'm not really trying to impress her, just think it would be a nice gesture

>>8747343

How obscure? Name some lesser-known Russian lit she owns or talks about

Why less-known? Get her a nice, hardcover copy of Brothers Karamazov or the-like. Maybe Bely's Petersburg if you want something a bit different. But stick to the classics unless you actually know what she likes. No student of Russian will toss out a quality edition of War and Peace.

>>8747369
In Russian, obviously. Get her a book with the text in RUSSIAN.

>>8747369
>>8747374

That's a good shout. I mean, I know a couple of things she likes, like Anna Achmatova and Yevgeny Zamyatin, don't think she thinks much of Dosty

>>8747385
>don't think she thinks much of Dosty

you have a stupid bitch of a girlfriend, is she hot atleast?

>>8747391
Dosty is fucking pleb garbage and regarded as such in the Russia literary canon

Пpocтo выeби eё, oчeвиднo жe.

>>8747392

Dostoyevsky isn't more prominent in the Russian literary consciousness because of decades of Soviet hegemony, which opposed him because of his opposition to its eventual ascendancy. Fortunately the rest of the world recognized his merits

>>8747392
>>8747391
Actually just found out it's tolstoy she's not a huge fan of. I mixed it up– she likes Dosty and isn't a huge fan of Tolstoy

>>8747343

Post pics of her bookshelf

>>8747418
That makes it worse

>>8747599
Tolstoy is bad, my dude

Get her Petersburg, the novel

>>8747343
Andrei Bely probably would be fun for her.

>>8747343
Get her Oпaвшиe Лиcтья

>>8747623
By Rozanov

Viktor Pelevin? Danill Kharms? Don't know how obscure they're considered tho.

Complete edition of Daria Dontzova books is your choice.

>>8747823
if she loves Akhmatova, give her some Madelstam, or a copy of Nadezhda Madelstam's memoirs

You've mentioned her twice now, maybe you should get her a nice edition of her poetry.

this desu.
Any real Russian academic would appreciate a nice first edition copy of The Brothers Karenina

>>8747343
All the trolls aside, OP, you can't go wrong with:

https://www.amazon.com/New-Soviet-Fiction-Sixteen-Stories/dp/0896598810

16 Soviet story writers catching the exact moment it all fell down. Tatianna Tolstaya is the giant of the bunch. Yes, she's related. Fire and Dust will be anthologized for decades. She'll appreciate owning this.

Definitely Bely's Petersburg

Recently read a collection of young russian authors in german, so no idea if you'd ever find those in english but I liked Alissa Ganiyeva,Valeri Pecheykin and Polina Klyukina the most. Other than that, something by Venedikt Yerofeev or Limonov wouldn't hurt either

>>8749442
Forgot about Gelasimov and Babchenko

>>8747418
Is she /our guy/?

>>8747614

deez fucking nuts. Tolstoy is fucking epic:

>Hadji Murad
>War and Peace
>Anna Karenina
>Ivan Ilych
>The Kreutzer Sonata
>...

Yuri Mamleev seconded.
