Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky. What to do? (№ 179967)

Take Russian fiction. I say: read just before Gogol. In thousands of other novels I can see five lines with five different pages that I don't find anything but spoiled Gogol - why am I going to read them? And in the Sciences - in the Sciences even more sharply the border. If I read Adam Smith, Malthus, Ricardo and mill, I know the alpha and omega of this area and I don't need to read any of the hundreds of political-economy, no matter how famous they are; I have five rows from five pages I see that don't find they have any fresh ideas, they owned all borrowings and distortion. I only read the original and only enough to know this identity.
