Italian writer and translator Paolo Nori believes that the novel " Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky, the novel "Hadji Murad" by Leo Tolstoy and the prose poem " Moscow — Petushki" by Venedikt Yerofeyev help to understand Russia. It is with these works that acquaintance with Russian literature should begin.
"When an Italian who has never read Russian writers asks me where to start—this happens from time to time—I usually answer that I started with "Crimes and punishments" and was satisfied ", he told RIA Novosti.
Tolstoy's novel and Yerofeyev's poem, according to Nori, will be an ideal starting point for a reader who wants to discover Russian literature.
Paolo Nori is known for his translations into Italian of works by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol and other Russian authors. By the 200th anniversary of Leo Tolstoy, which will be celebrated in 2028, he plans to write a novel about this author.
