![]() While there are many examples of deeply philosophical writing among the Russian classics, and just about as many antiheroes, I particularly like the mix in Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. ![]() Russian classics also gave us the first antiheroes those delightfully normal protagonists are almost completely lacking in heroic attributes but so rich in character and potential philosophical exploration. What spurs on this difference in style and content is difficult to determine, but the practical offshoot is the Russian classics are some of the most, dense, revealing, and philosophical novels of all time. Russian classics tend to be steeped in Russian philosophy, thus revealing the mindsets of Russian culture at the time in the same way an English novel might reveal the social structures and customs of the time in which it was set. ![]()
