CSLC 138 Russian Literature: Dreamers, Realists, and The In-Between
Should you abandon yourself to the sensual beauty of the world? Or should you embrace a life of asceticism and simplicity? Is there an even more attractive path in between? Is it also a more difficult one? Major works by Russian writers—including Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Chekhov—across a number of literary genres will guide our discussions of these important questions. Knowledge of Russian not required.
