based as fuck

Can anyone recommend me how to start with Tolstoy? Do I read The Death of Ivan Ilyich -> Anna -> W&P ?

>>8804698
War and Peace before Anna, at least that's how I preferred it

>>8803230
he fled his aristocracy, preached love and nonviolence to the passengers on the train until he got sick from pneumonia and was taken to someone's house where he died.

Read the Cossacks first. Then some history on the invasion of 1812. Then war and peace. Then Dostoyevsky. Then AK. And boom, you're now a man.

Reeee why are all you being mean to Based Tolstoy he's literally the best writer of all time and correct about literally everything reeeeee

>tfw just finished Hadji Murat recently
he perfectly predicted how Russian incursions into the Caucauses will always bite them back

He predicted the whole rigamarole circus in the first and second Chechen wars that happened 80 years after his death.

Fascinating novella

I started with Family Happiness and I believe that's the way to do it.

>>8804818
He's just Dostoevsky's pampered and superficial counterpart

turgenev and even someone as mediocre as chekhov have an actual understanding of the peasantry in russia. tolstoy has a juvenile, patronizing attitude for them that he cloaks in his crap moralisms and bad prose. he's tolerable when he's writing about the pettiness of the petty bourgeois but still a garbage writer.

Do any of you people realize how retarded you sound writing shit like muh? God you're like clones.
