"Dead Souls" and to a greater extent "Oblomov" by Goncharov were the first Russian authors I read and I felt a good introduction to Russian literature. Good insightful video. Keep up the splendid work.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Goncharov is a huge one, so nice to hear that he is read worldwide

This video helped answer many of the doubts I had about the book, thank you very much! I really liked your description of the first time reading the book as it describes my experience perfectly. I haven't read the Odyssey, so I guess this book will have to wait a little longer before I give it another go.

Yes, I’m sure you will have all the pleasures and benefits of rereading it

I bought myself a copy a few months back, waiting for a chance to read it. I’m currently reading “The Master and Margarita”. What a wonderful world is, indeed, Russian literature, Sr.Tyulpakov. Regards from Mexico

Waiting forward to it!

Read this recently and loved it! I felt like there were a lot of comparisons to Don Quixote that could be made in terms of the characters and the humor.
