I honestly don't get western obsession with Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. People at r/books are going nuts in how they tackle these books, some even try to learn the language only for that feat. Like, just what do you think even applies to humanity at large from those authors? Let alone the "treasure" angle? Incomprehensible for me. I read them in school and unlike some of my classmates I actually did read them fully. Today I wouldn't touch any of their books with ten feet pole voluntarily, unless I will find a need of a huge dose of depression plus cringe spread out on a thousands of pages. Which is unlikely.
