Russkaya Classical Literatura

[RostislaV]

Well ...

 

I`m really interesting does well-known in Norway one of the powerest and strongest Literature in the World - as Russian, exactly Russian Classica ...

 

I`m really interesting of this ...

 

For example because - here in VSB or simply Eastern Slavyania (my term ) - very well-known almost ALL WORLD`s Classica as in Literatura as in Cinematograph as in Music, etc.

 

Here are very well-known and Grieg and Munk and other norwegean musicians, painters, literators and so on ...

 

What about Norway ?

 

Does russian classics are well-know in there?

 

In this theme we will be talking only about Literatura - cause that field about it.

Myself I have only read "Dostojevskij - Spilleren", I don't think most people in Norway have read any classical russian litterature to be honest. Todays youth is busy with games and television/films. Without no doubt this has positive sides that are not often in the spotlight. However I must agree with those, that point out the danger of human beeings only living for the newest and shiniest culture. For me this is very appearent in both movies and music, as well aslitterature. As it is, you are highly cultural if you have read more than ten books. In many ways, this is not any different than hundred years ago. However, what have changed is the accessability to culture for everyone. I want to encourage all that read this, to try music, litterature and movies that wasn't made the latest year. Once a week! It might just pay off

Yes, russian literature is pretty well known in Norway(Among those who are interested in books). Atleast classics like Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy, Dostojevskij etc.

glad to hear this ...

 

no, not because the russian exactly, literature is well-know, but simple this literature get counts one of the greatest, intellectualest, wisest and deepest in the world`s literatures.

 

So, it means that norgwegeans are well-educated if they are close know this literature.

Both old and (some) new russian literature are well known among those who read here! With "new" literature I think about Bulgakov, for instance (Master and Margarita), I guess it is not THAT new, but still newer than the classics?

 

I don't know much about modern russian literature, and the writers of today.

 

It is a shame, though, that the Russian poetry is so little known outside of Russia. But one will have to speak Russian to really understand Pusjkin and Lermontov... translations can never be good enough!

 

Here in Norway very few people I know can recite norwegian poems by heart. While when I lived in Russia, everyone could (and frequently did, too! :!: )

We really are a poor country, when it comes to literary culture. It is not a part of regular people's everyday lives.
