If you are interested in Russian culture (or language) you should visit the following site, where two newly translated classic novels by talently author Nikolai Grigorevich Smirnov (1890-1933) are available in English (and the original Russian for you language learners). www.geocities.com/maxmakc Let me know what you think of these Russian books which have been hiding out in Russia since the 1920s!!!
I will sure give it a try buddy. I read some of Tolstoy's books and liked them. Hope I like these too as many translations are not good enough. By the way welcome to mylot.
Better to read 'Master and Margarit' by Bulgakov. It's very interesting book with deep sence. The only one that I liked being at school.
