Hi everyone!
I am 48yrs. old Medical Doctor who happens to love reading. I am from eastern Europe, I speak several languages but my english is pretty rudimental since I've learned it all by my self, when I was a teenager. And believe me, it was a difficult task in those days of my youth when russian was exclusively offered by almost every school in my country.
I am looking forward to becoming a member of this community partly because of my love for literature of any kind written by any author, but mostly because I think that you guys, know little about slavic literature.
I assume that most of you have heard about Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. Some of you are even familiar with their novels. But lat's face it: How many of you who are not professionally involved in this field, have read anything from , Sholohov, Andric, Solzhenitsyn, Sienkiewicz, Pasternak... and btw. ALL of them are Nobel Prize Laureates in literature.
So my mission is to introduce you to the beautiful and complex slavic soul and to guide you throw the deepness of emotions and feelings which can be, at a first glance, quite confusing but in the same time so honest, warm and genuine.
I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I'll enjoy answering your questions.
Yours Natasha
