What makes Russian literature one of the greatest in the world? Why do Dostoevsky's fictional characters seem more real than historical figures? How did Russian writers manage to capture the tragicomedy of life and return the true power of words?

Paolo Nori, a renowned Italian writer, translator and researcher of Russian literature, tries to answer these questions. His book is not a dry academic study, but a lively, witty and personal journey through the works of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Erofeev, Gogol and Brodsky. Nori shows that it was the "crazy Russians" who, over two centuries, created one of the most profound literatures in the world, closer to reality than life itself.
