In Russia, literature has its own direction, differing from any other. Russian soul is mysterious and incomprehensible. The genre reflects both Europe and Asia, so the best classic Russian works are unusual, amazed by peace and vitality.

The main acting face is the soul. For a person, the situation in society is not important for a person, the amount of money, it is important for him to find himself and its place in this life, to find the truth and sincere equilibrium.

The books of Russian literature are united by the writer who owns the gift of the Great Word that fully dedicated to this art of literature. The best classics saw life not flat, but multifaceted. They wrote about the life of not accidental destinies, but expressing being in his most unique manifestations.

Russian classics are so different, with different fate, but unites them that literature is recognized as a school of life, the way to study and develop Russia.

Russian classical literature was created by the best writers from different parts of Russia. It is very important where the author was born, because it depends on his formation as a person, its development, and it also affects writing skills. Pushkin, Lermontov, Dostoevsky was born in Moscow, Chernyshevsky in Saratov, Shchedrin in Tver. Poltavshchyna in Ukraine - the birthplace of Gogol, Podolsk province - Nekrasov, Taganrog - Chekhov.

Three Great Classics, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Dostoevsky, were absolutely unlike each other, had different fates, complex characters and great giving. They made a huge contribution to the development of literature, writing their best works that still excite the hearts and the soul of readers. These books should read each.

Another important difference between the books of the Russian classics is to riding the shortcomings of man and his lifestyle. Satira and humor are the main features of the works. However, many critics said that it was all slander. And only the real connoisseurs saw how comical characters were both comical, and tragic. Such books always cling to the soul.

In "NG - EXLIBRIS" in the room from 01/31/2008 under the title "From the Divine Bottle of Matra Francois Rabl to the scandalous" Blue Sala "Vladimir Sorokina" published a very curious and skitting list "100 novels, who, according to the team of the editorial board" NG EX Libris, "shocked the literary world and influenced the whole culture."

"Millennium just started, you can sum up. Including literary. The year is also at the very beginning, we offer you a list of 100 best, in the editorial office of NG-EL, novels of all times and peoples.
In the end, what are we worse? The British / Americans make up their lists of great novels, including there or boring modern English-speaking fiction, or even more boring, but long-time forgotten English-speaking fiction. After adding "for objectivity", several Russian novels, several things from world literature. We are also trendy, we also include only what we know what they are confident - because it is our choice. We really want to be objective, but absolute objectivity in such lists is impossible. Although we, of course, are much more English-speaking novels than the British - Russians. We are not offended. And if you like, so we say - I like it.
Of course, the novels of the living (or recently dead) authors are closer to us, more clearly, so there would be more than it would be. We would have written our list 100 years ago, probably turned on Arzybashev, Welfman, Chernyshevsky, Pisem, Krestovsky, Leskov and Meriazhkovsky (and now it would be worth incorporated, yes the stories and lead from them, like many other non-key, perhaps, all - Better better) and therefore, of course, many have not entered. Those without which literature is unthinkable. Ivan Bunin, for example. Or Edgar software. Or Anton Chekhov. Or Knut Gamsun, the author of many magnificent novels. But the best thing his thing is "Hunger" - a story! Similar history, by the way, with Yuz Aleshkovsky. He has novels, but "business cards" - "disguise" and "Nikolai Nikolayevich" - a story, whether they are very restless!
Others, on the contrary, entered the blatment. Here, let's say, "Eugene Onegin" Pushkin - the poem, but the author called his work "Roman in verse." So, the novel. On the other hand, and the "dead souls" of Gogol, and the "Moscow-Petushki" of Erofeev, according to the authors, are poems. Yes, poems. But if it are not novels, then what are the novels? What is Sergey Minaev and Oksana Robski write? So our position is not a contradiction, it is a dialectic, our editorial arbitrariness.
Despite the exceptional prevalence of the genre of the novel, its borders are still not clearly defined. Most literary criticians believe that the genre of major narrative works called the novel appeared in the Western European literature of the XII-XIII centuries, when the literary work of the third class with the trade bourgeoisie was to be folded. As a result, the genre of Roman came to replace the heroic epic and legend legend, which was dominated by the legend of the antique and feudal-knightly literature. Hegel has not called the Roman "Bourgeois Epopea". Therefore, you will not find in our list of the Golden Ospel of Apulela, nor Parsifaha Tungsten von Eshenbach. The exception was made only for the creations of Rabl and Cervantes, which can be considered embryos novels, or prostromans.
Repeat: this is exclusively our choice, subjective and additive. We, as we were accepted, some included in vain, others, on the contrary, were unfairly ignored. Make your option. Not mistaken one who does nothing.
You can see the list in today's NG-EL number. With brief comments. The novels we placed in chronological order (or by writing time, or by the date of the first publication).
