Unrelated, but still:

I worked at a library for a long time.
I've heard "Dostoievski" pronounced in every possible way.

The best one, which made me lmao hard, was "DOSTINOVSKI"

Cancer Ward - Solzhenitsyn
Second Hand Time: The Last of the Soviets - Alexievich
Crime and Punishment - Dostoyevsky

I highly recommend Alexievich's books if you feel like having a good cry.

Andrai Bely's Petersburg, all Tolstoy (esp. Anna K.), Turgenev's Fathers and Sons (much here about the early perils of anarchism, in a very entertaining context).

Anyone read this?
Also known as "the book Orwell tried to steal everything from".

I don't think that's a fair statement, but after reading it my views on Huxley's Brave New World and 1984 were ... different.

>>9131729
>Russian fiction
Well, at least you're right about the category.

>>9131776
Doßtoiyewskij.

>>9131776
The correct pronunciation is Does-Two-Yeff-Skee by the way.

>>9132943

>>9132431

We, 1984, and Brave New World all revolve around the same basic conceit: what happens when a single overriding ideology takes over society. The key difference is in the ideology each anticipated. We is basically Taylorism triumphant everything and everyone anyone does has been planned, scheduled, optimized, and mapped. Brave New World is utilitarianism, everyone is made to be happy and content in their place. 1984 is totalitarianism stripped of everything but what Orwell saw as the key features of totalitarian ideologies.

You can also see this in the counter-current: In We it's nature itself, and the author's connection to the people still living there. In Huxley it's basically misfits; the factory rejects of humanity and the high powered prototypes. 1984, (Orwell being the old socialist he was) it's the people themselves. "If there is hope it lies in the proles".

The three are all starkly different books, with equally different beliefs at their core.

>>9132088
She writes about Russia in Russian, close enough.

>>9131793
Why do you think so? I stopped reading after 100 pages because it seemed to me like a slow satire.

>>9133103
Great analysis. I get where people say Orwell stolen from it. Probably because he did read We a long time before it was published in russia, and made an article about it (not sure about this).

Another thing that's very different IMO, is that We has a dark sense of humour that the others don't.

And also, the main character goes from full acceptance of his society to "not-so-sure" rejection.

They are all good reads, I think.

>>9133741
As long as the russian is thoroughly suffering, and creates good literature, he can have rotted away and use a straw to type for all I care.

>>9133191
Well, Flaubert is a 19th century writer.
