Petersburg was like reading the Russian Ulysses's, I felt like I wouldn't get 3/4 the references unless I lived there and then and was a scholar.

Petersburg by Andrei Bely

I'm looking to read bely's Petersburg ... first is it a hard read, in terms if language, is it challenging to read in English for a non-native speaker.
and what's the best translation?

Is there a good analysis of this book because I know I missed a majority of themes and ideas. Easily the hardest to read Russian book

Have a random recommendation from my bookshelf. You should like it if you like modernist stuff.

I'll begin with a few:

Here's my nomination. Something about this one has me keep coming back to it. I really love it

Petersburg is discussed every so often, but not that much. Learning Russian to understand a lot of the word play in the original language.

Here you go Peter.

My all time favorite book, pinnacle of early 20th century Russki lit.

Petersburg by Andrei Bely. Learning Russian to read it in its original language. Just fantastic.

Andrei Bely needs to get some love around here

Honestly the best Russian novel of all time

>I would start with at all if you want to get into Russian literature
Where does one start?
I started with W&P, read the big ones, C&P, TBK, AK and some of Tolstoy's short story's.
I'm going to read pic related once I finish my current book. After that I'll get around to Dead Souls and then I'm not to sure.

It seems really interesting. What should I expect?

Petersburg - Andrei Bely
The Brothers Karamazov - Dosto

Sup /lit/,

Has anyone read Petersburg by Andrei Bely? I want to finish this book within a month (+-500 pages) and I want to know more or less which chapters to read (Rather than the whole book).

Eternal gratitude in return.
