Golden classics of Russian literature

A lot of authors from USA and Great Britain have announced to be influenced by great Russian writers. And not only writers, but actors, musicians.

For example, the bassist of the group Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea used to admit that adored Russian writers, and especially Anton Chekhov. And he even said that regarded the songs of RHCP as short stories in Chekhov style. “Chitai-gorod” gives you the opportunity to acquire a stylish gift edition of the novella “the Duel”, one of the biggest works of the writer.

The satirical comedy “Love and death” of Woody Allen was inspired by Russian classics. The most recognizable references again to Chekhov, and also to Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky. You can acquire the collection edition of the book of Leo Tolstoi “Anna Karenina” which is so often filmed. Or you can prefer the diaries of Fyodor Dostoevsky. The choice is yours, and the delivery is ours.

Russian literature of the XX century

In the XIX century there was the “Golden Age” for Russian literature, but in the XX happened to be the “Silver Age”. And Nobel prize winner in literature Ivan Bunin is one of its brightest representatives. You can buy the book “Curses Days” which are in fact diary notes of the writer, in the form of a beautiful hardcover edition which is just pleasant to keep in hands. Or you can buy an edition of the poem “the Twelve” by Alexander Blok which Bunin discoursed in his work with.

Admirers of later writers can remember Valentin Rasputin, the representative of a “village prose”. Rasputin wrote simply, easily but always interesting, and his works didn’t become shallow. The most famous of them is “Farewell to Matyora”.

Modern Russian literature

Fans of modern authors won’t be disappointed either. Victor Pelevin is one of the most mysterious modern Russian writers. He is famous for his conspiracy. There were even suppositions that Pelevin didn’t exist, and “Pelevin” is a literary pseudonym of some authors. Although it’s not important as the author is loved, first of all, for his literary style, not image. You can acquire a collection set which consists of a T-short, a postcard and the book “Journey to Eleusis”. The set is rare; to find it in the future will be not easier than to find Victor Pelevin himself.

Here you can buy one of the books of a scandalous writer Eduard Limonov. For example, his novel “Inquisition”. Or you can plunge into the world of modern Russian fantasy and start to collect the works of one of its brightest representatives – Alexey Pehov. And if you want unusual fantasy and in the gift edition – Max Frei at your service. Choose the books which are close to your mind, style, character. Or maybe by beauty of the cover.
