Suttree Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 for me, off handpechorin (lermontov)Always have wanted to check out Lermontov. Assuming you start with "A Hero of Our Time"? Any translation you would recommend? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Myshkin. The boarder. Not from that russkie bullshit.Well thank you. I've always fancied myself a pretty awesome character, though sadly few seem to recognize my genius. Though I will say that Prince Lev Myshkin (from Russkie Bullshit) is also a neat character.

Ayx Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Kallor from Malazan - it had been always thusKharl from Recluce - somehow 2nd coming of age stories of people in their 40's always seem inspiringx2 for Ostap Bender, too bad its untranslatable to western audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Cannot think of a real list now, but I guess I can express my love for Mr. Collins ... I do not think I laugh that much whenever I read anything else. :PHolden CaulfieldWhy? I personally hated him and the whole book ...Ostap Bender. That is all (you may need to Wiki this or something, as too many people have no idea of this satire masterpiece):wideeyed: That is a novel! Mind blown. I only saw the movie. Anybody knows how the two compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chise Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 :wideeyed: That is a novel! Mind blown. I only saw the movie. Anybody knows how the two compare?Heavily depends on which movie you saw? There are many!!There's the russian musical from late 70's, the fantastic 2-parter from earlier 70s which uses 2 diff actors (one for his face, one for the dub voice... actually there's a 3rd guy's voice for singing) and the shitty newest remakes , Mel Brooks american version perhaps?
