You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!
Hi everybody,
You've heard their last names, you've likely read a couple classics in high school or college written by them. Now let's endeavor to read even more from them on our own. I've selected 15 great Russian authors, each highly respected and lauded by academics, historians, and readers alike, several who have the distinction of being "one of the greatest writers of any era." I've included the work(s) that each author is most famous for, and or works that strongly represents the author's storytelling style and philosophies.
