Immediately after the first publication, the works of writers were ambiguously perceived in literary circles. But time has shown their artistic value.
In fifth place in our ranking of the best works of Russian classics - The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It's not only great romance about one of the most difficult and terrible periods in the history of the country - repressions in the USSR, but also autobiographical work based on personal experience the author, as well as letters and memoirs of more than two hundred prisoners of the camps.

Nikolai Gogol "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka"
Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol is a universally recognized classic of world significance. The crown of his work is considered the novel " Dead Souls”, the second volume of which was destroyed by the author himself. But our rating of the best works of Russian classics included the first book Gogol - "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka". It is hard to believe that the stories included in the book and written with sparkling humor were practically the first experience in Gogol's writing. A flattering review of the work was left by Pushkin, who was sincerely amazed and fascinated by Gogol's stories, written by a living, poetic language without pretentiousness and stiffness.
The events described in the book take place in different time periods: in XVII, XVIII XIX centuries.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky "Crime and Punishment"
Novel "Crime and Punishment" by F. M. Dostoevsky ranks third in the list of the best works of Russian classics. He got the status cult book world importance. This is one of the most frequently filmed books. It's not only deep philosophical work, in which the author poses to readers the problems of moral responsibility, good and evil, but also a psychological drama and fascinating detective. The author shows the reader the process of transforming a talented and respectable young man into a killer. He is no less interested in the possibility of Raskolnikov's atonement for guilt.
Great epic novel Leo Tolstoy "War and Peace", the volume of which terrifies schoolchildren for many decades, is actually very interesting.

This is one of the brightest examples of the best works of not only Russian, but also world classics. The novel is recognized as one of the most epic works in world literature. Here every reader will find his favorite topic: love, war, courage.
Mikhail Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita"
Topping our list of best classics is the marvelous novel. The author never lived to see the publication of his book - it was published 30 years after his death.
Master and Margarita - so complex work that not a single attempt to film the novel failed. The figures of Woland, the Master and Margarita require filigree accuracy in the transfer of their images. To achieve this, unfortunately, not a single actor has yet succeeded. The film adaptation of the novel by director Vladimir Bortko can be considered the most successful.
I will quit smoking on Monday. Next week I will start running and join the gym. At the weekend I'll clean up the room and find a job. You have to do more, right?
2019 has landed on our shoulders. It's time to get off the couch, open your eyes, drink mineral water and finally start. I have compiled for you 2 lists of books of world and Russian literature, which you should familiarize yourself with at least in 2016, if you have not done so before. Let's start, perhaps, with the "boring" Russian classics. Listen!
Fyodor Dostoevsky "Dream of a Ridiculous Man"
Have you thought about suicide at least once in your life? If not, then this is no reason to bypass Dostoevsky's story. Everyone knows this author purely from the book “Crime and Punishment”, however, in my opinion, in order to fully understand the essence of Dostoevsky, one should start with the story “Dream funny man". How to understand the essence of human existence before the last shot in the head? How to exchange paradise for world wars and hatred of one's neighbor? And most importantly - how not to pull the trigger. The end of the story can be titled with the expression "Cherchez la femme", if you understand why, then everything was not in vain.
Anton Chekhov "Ward number 6"
What do you think, Russian classics under a glass of vodka going better? I have a subjective opinion on this matter, but what about the views of Comrade Gromov? How to combine reading books, a glass of vodka, a psychiatric hospital and two brilliant people with completely different and at the same time identical views on existence in this world? Such an oxymoron permeates the whole story about the sad truth of the cheerful Chekhov. Have you already figured out how to drink literature?
Evgeny Zamyatin "We"
Yevgeny Zamyatin can be safely considered the founder of the great genre of dystopia. I'm sure if you chose him, then you simply must know such great anti-utopians as Orrwell and Huxley. If these names mean something to you, then without even thinking, get Zamyatin for yourself and start absorbing it with tablespoons. Military system, coupon relations and continuous capital letters. Instead of people. Instead of names. Instead of life.
Leo Tolstoy "Death of Ivan Ilyich"
On the cover of this book, I would write in huge red letters: “Caution! Causes frustration, pain and awareness. Sentimental stupid people strictly prohibited." Forget about the hackneyed book "War and Peace", you have a completely different side of Leo Tolstoy, which is worth all the volumes of a huge novel. Trying to find a deep semantic subtext in the story "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", you will miss the most important thing that lies on the surface. A banal, simple truth that is available to everyone, every time eluding us. If you found it in the story, and besides, you learned to live by it, my bow to you and white envy.
Ivan Goncharov "Oblomov"
That's something, and in the novel "Oblomov" to find yourself as easy as shelling pears. Alas. How beautiful is the contemplation of this life from the outside, when the stupid vanity of this world bypasses you. First love that somehow makes you get off the couch, obsessive friends, always trying to pull your lazy ass into the light - how absurd this whole "seething life" is. Avoid it, contemplate, think and dream, dream, dream! If you are a supporter of this statement, congratulations, your soul mate has been found in the protagonist of the novel Oblomov.
Maxim Gorky "Passion-face"
It was not by chance that Gorky's work received such symbolic name"Passion-face", because the story can not be read without trembling in the knees. If you love children too much, don't read. If you are impressionable and emotional - do not read. If girls with syphilis disgust you, don't read. In general, do not listen to me now, open the book and start to be afraid of the cruel realities of this life. The social bottom, dirt, vulgarity and yet truly happy, "pure" people in children's and adult swords about impossible happiness.
Nikolai Gogol "Overcoat"
A small person against a huge terrible society, or how to lose everything that is dear to you, even if it is a simple overcoat. A stingy official, an unnecessary environment, a small happiness in exchange for a great disappointment and death as the only logical conclusion. It is on the example of Akaki Bashmachkin that we will consider a large weighty and significant problem of society - the theft of an overcoat.
Anton Chekhov "The Man in the Case"
How do you keep in touch with your work colleagues, classmates or friends? I will advise one great way to improve your communication skills - come to visit them and be silent. I give you a 100% guarantee that society will be delighted with you. An umbrella in a case, a watch in a case, a face in a case. A kind of shell behind which a person tries to hide, protect himself from the outside world. A man who even managed to shove his sincere love into a case and protect it not only from the object of love, but also from himself. So what about maintaining relationships? Shall we keep quiet?
Alexander Pushkin "The Bronze Horseman"
And again we meet a big problem little man, only this time in Pushkin's The Bronze Horseman. Eugene, Parasha, Peter and a love story, it would seem, what could be more ideal for the plot romantic drama? But no, this is not "Eugene Onegin" for you. We break love, we break a city, we break a person, we add a drop to this symbolic image bronze horseman and we get perfect recipe one of best poems Pushkin.
Fyodor Dostoevsky "Notes from the Underground"
And the last one on the list of Russian classics will be the one with whom we, in fact, began - the great beloved Dostoevsky. It is no coincidence that I put “Notes from the Underground” in the final place. After all, this work is not just exciting, it is wild in places, so to speak. Increased awareness of being is a deadly disease. Activity is the lot of the limited and stupid. If you like these interpretations, then you will like Dostoevsky, and if you also humiliated prostitutes at least once in your life, then the "underground" will become your favorite place to stay.
About the top 10 foreign classic books read the second part of the list of books for 2016. Love Russian classics.

(Russian) is a broad concept, and everyone puts their own meaning into it. If you ask readers what associations it evokes in them, then the answers will be different. For some, this is the basis of the library fund, someone will say that the works of classical Russian literature are a kind of sample with high artistic merit. For schoolchildren, this is everything that is studied at school. And they will all be absolutely right in their own way. So what exactly is classical literature? Russian literature, today we will talk only about it. ABOUT foreign classics we will talk in another article.
Russian literature
There is a generally accepted periodization of formation and development domestic literature. Its history is divided into the following time periods:
What works are called classics?
Many readers are sure that classical literature (Russian) is Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy - that is, the works of those writers who lived in the 19th century. It's not like that at all. The era of the Middle Ages and the 20th century can be classical. By what canons and principles to determine whether a novel or a story is a classic? First, a classic work must have a high artistic value to be a model for others. Secondly, it must have worldwide recognition, it must be included in the fund of world culture.
And you need to be able to distinguish between the concepts of classical and popular literature. A classic is something that has stood the test of time, and oh popular work can quickly forget. If its relevance continues for more than a dozen years, perhaps it will eventually become a classic as well.
Origins of Russian classical literature
IN late XVIII century, the newly formed nobility of Russia split into two opposing camps: conservatives and reformers. Such a split was due to different attitudes towards the changes that took place in life: Peter's reforms, understanding of the tasks of the Enlightenment, the sore peasant question, attitude towards power. This struggle of extremes led to the rise of spirituality, self-consciousness, which gave rise to Russian classics. We can say that it was forged in the course of dramatic processes in the country.
Classical literature (Russian), having been born in the complex and contradictory 18th century, was finally formed in XIX century. Its main features are: national identity, maturity, self-awareness.

Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin, the greatest Russian historian, writer and journalist, was the most influential figure in the Russian cultures XVIII-XIX centuries His historical novels and the monumental "History of the Russian State" had a huge impact on the work of subsequent writers and poets: Zhukovsky, Pushkin, Griboedov.
