many:D

:D:D:D
Of course!!!
My mistake! I should have added the precision that the question was aiming at the foreign men! To see what kind of education about Russia they have, how they cared to understand the Russian soul before engaging in something that would lead them to your country. But it seems that they prefer to rely on agencies or advice from country fellowmen...

I know tshut thsut about the Russian school progams... I like particularily Chekhov, his first book... and Sakhalin Island... One short novel I like very much, but I do not know the Russian title unfortunately, maybe you can find it for me if I tell you that it is about the building of a railroad and a past love...

[Bruno]

Do you mean russian book writen in russian... i read only children book... for child learn languages... a little like at http://www.languageguide.org/russian/

Do you mean russian book translate... i have read all Isac Isimov, my prefered science-fiction author,... i have read some poetry of Pushkin... and some other book like "Michael Stoggof" but i don't know the writer...

 I failed to recall such novel. Chehov wrote too many novels about love and I can't recall any with building of railroad (Sorry -sclerosis :?)

Sorry again, I mean Russian literature. Translations (for I guess very few if anybody could read the originals).

Michel Strogoff if from French author Jules Verne.
Asimov as far as I know wrote in English.

Drama na okhote should be a must read for any Westerner. Do not know the translation title in English ("Hunting Drama"?!). In French "Drame de chasse". Book available.

Film based at "A Hunting Accident " is good too

Michel Strogoff if from French author Jules Verne.
[line]
 

Not so sure... Verne have show a lot of interest in socialistic theories, an he started to admire Prince Pyotr Kropotkin (1842-1921), who devoted himself to a life as a revolutionary. A long friendship have exist between these two man and some think that these noble anarchist can be the real writer, if not he have influenced a lot Verne...


[line]
Asimov as far as I know wrote in English.
[line]
 

Yes, you have right... Isaac Asimov is a american born russian ( Petrovichi near Smolenk )... he was 3 year old when he have immigrate to US ( 1923 ) with family... he have write around 500 volumes...

How to change men?

It seems there is no way to do that:? Men are the same all the times
