| | 1. | [no image] | The Master & Margarita
from Ardis Publishers
Price: $199.00
Customer Review:
As a few other reviewers have said, this edition (Classic House Books, paperback) is horrible. The Master and Margarita is one of my favorite books. I purchase a new copy and re-read it every few years. I purchase a new copy each time, because when I'm done I pass the book on to someone who's never... more info

| | 2. |  | War and Peace (Vintage Classics)
from Vintage
Price: $12.02
Customer Review:
War and Peace is a daunting book to start. I've put it off for years, starting it twice and abandoning it because I just wasn't quite ready to commit the time. I'm really glad I did, because Tolstoy presents something here that I've never found anywhere else.
War and Peace is essentially a... more info

| | 3. | [no image] | Life and Fate
from Collins Harvill Press
Customer Review:
It has been widely noted that "Life and Fate" has much in common with "War and Peace." Both are panoramic Russian epics, depicting the devastating impact of a great war on a wide range of characters, and, while focusing on the microcosm of an individual family and its members, portraying the entire... more info

| | 5. |  | The Brothers Karamazov
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $9.98
Customer Review:
Many years ago when I was in college I first read this book; so for a long time I was looking forward to rereading it.
I thought that with all I've gone through, I'd love "The Brothers."
Surprisingly, I was disappointed. Not so much because Dostoyevsky was not a craftsman. (His narrator is... more info

| | 6. |  | Crime and Punishment
from Vintage
Price: $9.80
Customer Review:
Dostoevsky's ability to delve into and elucidate the darkest parts of the human psyche is truly a remarkable gift. It would have to take quite a commitment to confronting one's own darkness to be able to express it so well and have it feel so "normal" for the rest of us. It is said that... more info

| | 7. |  | The First Circle (European Classics)
from Northwestern University Press
Price: $85.02
Customer Review:
When the great author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn passed away in the summer of 2008, he left behind a bibliography of powerful masterpieces that rank him among the pinnacles of the Russian canon. Best remembered for his epic, three-volume magnum opus, "The Gulag Archipelago," and his equally compelling... more info

from Konemann
Price: $40.00
Customer Review:
I appreciate this book, I really do. I purchased it in my quest to go back and read some of the classics that I never got to read coming up through high school and college (On the Road, Slaughterhouse Five, etc.) I have to say that this book requires more mental stamina than any other in recent... more info

| | 10. |  | Anna Karenin (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Books
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
Anna Karenina is a long book with a number of themes, characters, plots, and subplots, and it takes a certain amount of effort to appreciate what Tolstoy has done here. Still, the book is a joy to read, and re-read.
A very prominent theme deals with ethics and how to live a good life. Levin,... more info
