Some points about literature( When i hear the word "Literature" i feel that is a big part of my life. I'm studying Russian Philology and we have long lists for reading in art and critical literature. It would be cool to read all of them but it seems impossible because there is no enough time. We need make a choice. My favorites characters from literature are Lucy Snowe and Helen Graham, heroines of novels of Bronte Sisters. They are strong, fearless and smart (intelligence?) and they know who they are and what they need. They can something to learn. Unfortunately, i hardly never read a modern literature, but I'm sure it's up to the same standard of the literature from a hundred years ago. We'll find out it later. I've read a few books by winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature. I like "The Forsyte Saga" by John Galsworthy but i don't know how i feel about "The life of Arseniev" although i like other works of Ivan Bunin.

I read several books from literature's Nobel Laureates. I like "The Forsyte Saga" by John Galsworthy but i don't know how i feel about "The life of Arseniev" although i like other works of Ivan Bunin.

Some points about literature

When I hear the word "literature", I feel that it is a big part of my life. I'm studying Russian philology and we have long lists for reading in art and critical literature. It would be cool to read all of them, but it seems impossible because there is not enough time. We need to make a choice.


My favorite characters from literature are Lucy Snowe and Helen Graham, heroines of novels written by the Bronte Sisters. They are strong, fearless and smart / intelligent and they know who they are and what they want / need (want is more common in this context). They give us something which we can learn from (not sure if this is your meaning). Unfortunately, I hardly ever read modern literature, but I'm sure it's up to the same standard of the literature from a hundred years ago. I'll find out it later (use of the royal "we" is not very common nowadays).


I've read a few books by winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature. I like "The Forsyte Saga" by John Galsworthy, but I have mixed feelings about "The Life of Arseniev", although I like the other works of Ivan Bunin.
