It was more in chronological order, rather than in terms of quality Tom Send a noteboard - 26/01/2012 11:35:10 PM
I tried to think chronologically, but some of the earlier poets ended up later in the list, and after I exhausted the list of things that "HAD" to be there, I went back to other works by the same authors. I could have gotten to 100 easily if I started adding shorter works, like Pushkin's Medny Vsadnik or Tsygane, or Kuprin's Legkoe Dykhanie, or Zolotoy Telenok by Il'f and Petrov.

I should have also mentioned that the names were in Russian whenever the English translation was unknown to me or varied enough.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I was wondering if you'd have to include Sholokhov there Larry - 26/01/2012 05:15:48 PM 655 Views
I think it's probably safe to conclude from that list... Legolas - 26/01/2012 08:15:35 PM 648 Views
Considering his first 20... Larry - 26/01/2012 09:30:10 PM 625 Views
Oh, nevermind, I'd overlooked his plays there on the 16th position. Ignore what I said. Legolas - 26/01/2012 09:42:03 PM 611 Views
You were absolutely 100% correct, though. Tom - 26/01/2012 11:29:50 PM 534 Views

What did you want to ask about Zamyatin? *NM* Tom - 31/01/2012 08:38:31 PM 261 Views
I suspect she, like me, read a little too fast and wrongly thought she'd found an omission. *NM* Legolas - 02/02/2012 06:42:22 PM 251 Views
