Russian Literature
Hi!
My name is Jen. I would be happy to help anybody who needs to improve his/her English in exchange for learning his/her native language. I am particularly interested in Russian, Romanian, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, German, and Japanese.
I have met many wonderful people so far, and I look forward to chatting with many more!
As for literature...
I have currently rediscovered the works of the Russian masters. Several years ago,I read War and Peace as well as several short stories by Tolstoy and Chekhov. I have just started reading Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's novel, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich, as translated by H.T. Willets. I love these books, even in translation...I can't even begin to think how great these works are in the native Russian. :) I have several other great Russian literary masterpieces in my collection (Anna Karenina, Lolita, The Death of Ivan Ilyich, The Master and Margarita, Crime and Punishment). I would like to add. :( Any suggestions?
I love literature in general, so it would be fun if anybody is interested in discussing any aspect, genre, etc. of literature.

Re:Re:Roald Dahl!=)
I think Roald Dahl is a good author, but I don't <3 him. By the way, that's a heart.

Re:Allende or Marquez, anyone?
Hi, I adore Marquez and envy persons from Spanish spoken territory, who have the pleasure to read these incredible sentences on native language of this amazing author. I have read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" years ago and instantly have got hooked. Even now I can only close my eyes and imagine all that butterflies escaping from those unforgettable pages.
