Read "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. There is to many great writers to name one as thee finest writer. Bulgakov, Kafka, Dostoyevsky, Moliere, Gogol etc who's the best??

I don't think you have to apologize..What Fyodor did is echo the voice of this age. Tolstoy would have been hailed as a monument in the middle ages---But this age, we are all the children of Byron, and Dostoevsky understood that. Like Lermontov, Pushkin and Goncharov, he brought forth Byron in his books--and we love him for it

I might be the only one, but I prefer Tolstoy's short stories to his 3 big novels. Death o Ivan Ilych, Master and Man, Father Sergius are my top 3 Tolstoy fiction stuff. I love his Confessions. I prefer Jean's Confessions, but Tolstoy's is certainly a step up from Augustine

I just got 3 plays by Tolstoy. Excited to read it--I as disappointed by his trilogy, childhood, adol...Hope this pans out better

Oh, by the way, I hate his What is Art? Thought the great soul missed the point

[loveandonions]

thanks for posting this. i love tolstoy's work, both the long and short stories. for newcomers to his ideas and incomparable gift for detail and psychological description, check out The Death of Ivan Ilych, and the Kreutzer Sonata. Both are fairly short, very entertaining, and intellectually provocative.

I also like Dostoyevsky alot. Too bad the two writers never met in real life.

Just finnished WnP, amazing piece of work. Nikolai Gogol is another great, a writer these guys respected also, I love his work.

Sorry, I prefer Dostoevsky.

You can say who is the best depending on how you enjoy each author's creations, and your personality as well.

If you know depression, than you may like kafka. If you like inner "mind" paradoxes, than you may like Dostoievski, and so on.

But if you like poetry, than definably: Fernando Pessoa is the best. :D
