Classical books

[Matteo]

Would love to discuss with others who share a passion for books by classical authors like Dumas, Balzac, Hugo, Flaubert, Goethe, Pushkin, and many others. Add me if you feel like it ☺️

I love classics as well! Would love to discuss books with someone and share our thoughts. I particularly like works by Émile Zola, the Brontë sisters, Wilkie Collins... basically Victorian classics are my favourites. However, I also really enjoy french and gothic classics as well as nonfiction books about the 19th century and the middle ages.

You can check out my shelves, add me and send me a message if you've read the same works as I or just want to chat about the classics. :)

Some south American classical authors i recommend are Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges and Isabel Allende

Hi, I have interesting classic.
It’s “Master and Margarita”
This book was made by Michail Bulhakov, and he’s such a genius. It’s about a devil that comes to Moscow, with his partners, and doing weird stuff around the town.
I think this specifically is a philosophical genre.
