Ryunosuke Akutagawa - A Japanese Genius (with a troubled soul)

$The Incredible Works of 8 Russian Giants The transcript of this video in book form: https://ko-fi.com/s/bba11284f0 Support the channel ► Buy me coffee: https://ko-fi.com/fictionbeast ► Join my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fictionbeast I often describe Russian Literature as a massive punch in the face because these Russian writers were truth-tellers, no matter how painful and uncomfortable were those truths. The reason for that is the country has an extreme climate, cold harsh reality sets in every winter. So despite lofty, cushiony ideas of freedom, individualism, equality and so on trickling down from the West, these Russian novelists understood that reality always come to bite you no matter how lofty are your beliefs. These Russian writers were poets of reality, and reality is always messy. In the first few parts, I will discuss four giants of Russian Literature, starting with Eugen Onegin by Alexander Pushkin who as the father of modern Russian Literature single-handedly revolutionised the Russian Literature as wells the Russian language. Then I will discuss A Hero of Our time by Mikhail Lermontov, often considered the second most beloved poet of Russia. Then I will move on to Nikolai Gogol’s satirical stories, mainly his masterpiece, the Dead Souls as well as Ivan Goncharov’s novel, Oblomov, another classic of Russian satire. In Part 2, I will talk about another 4 giants of Russian Literature starting with Ivan Turgenev, one of the most artistic of Russian writers. His masterpiece Fathers and Sons inspired both Tolstoy and Dostoevsky to write their greatest novels. I will also talk about Fyodor Dostoevsky, perhaps the most psychological Russian writer who influenced later generations of writers from around the world. I will talk about his most influential novel, the Brothers Karamazov. Then, I will look at the works by Leo Tolstoy, the giant of Russian Literature. I will discuss his War and Peace. Unlike the psychological tales of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy was more concerned with the sociological questions concerning what forces move history and civilisation as well as the role of an individual within a society. Finally I will also discuss Anton Chekhov, the father of short stories whose tales have been immensely influential in cinema. By the end of this video, you will know all the major Russian classic novels, as well as some of the most influential novelists from the Russian-speaking world. This book will give you all the juicy stuff from Russian Literature. If you have read, this book will connect a lot of dots. If you have not read, it connects dots about life and its meaning and purpose in general. Russian Literature is truly universal because these writers went deep, really deep into the human psyche to dissect all manner of themes, from politics, history, social change to crime, guilt and redemption. So get yourself some vodka and let me take you on a journey spanning 100 of years Russian brilliance.
