I Wonder have somebody readen any book of this author? Recently i've been reading "Doctor Jivago". To be honest it didn't impress me. Have somebody different opinion?
Hi Soros, sorry I only just noticed your message you left on my profile, I'm still getting confused at the way things work on here! Haha. Hope you're well
I'm from Kyrghyzstan or Kyrghyz Republic. It borders with Kazahstan, not far from Russia. I was born in the capital of KR Bishkek and still living here. I wonder are there anybody from this area.
I'm still under impression. I've never seen such beautiful and organized wedding as wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. It was like a fairy-tale.
Oh yeah it was perfect. As to long and happy life together, many people doubt about that. Some even making bets and want to make money on that. Even so, they are beautiful couple.
Hello! Here are my top 3 of classics:
1. Seneka- "Epistulae morales ad Lucilium"- collection of 124 letters dealing with moral issues written to Lucilius Junior.
2. Dostoevsky- "The Brothers Karamazov"
3. Defoe- "Robinson Crusoe"
By the way, I read this book in russian, but I'm really going to read it in Oscar Wilde's native language, it must be more interesting in English, although the main idea will be the same.
This book is just brilliant! I read it in a single breathe, fascinating and intriguing. It lead me to the thought, we must live our life with dignity. It taught me a lot.
I personally highly recommend all to read "The Brothers Karamazov". This book encourages reader to think about many things, at least about the sense of life.
Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky (11 November 1821 – 9 February 1881) was a Russian writer of realist fiction and essays. He is best known for his novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary works explored human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society.
I think he is the best russian writer. Especially I would like to highlight "The Brothers Karamazov".
Have you read any book by Dostoevsky? What is your opinion?
I read 2 books by Murakami, and discovered similarities with creations of Chingiz Aitmatov. Particularly I must emphasis very big similarity between Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore" and Aitmatov's "The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years".
Additionally I found Murakami's style somewhat strange and it calls many negotive feelings and thoughts.
