Attention !bookworms and !classics
Our next book club reading will be "Petersburg" by Russian author Andrei Bely.
Written between 1913-1916 and initially published on a serialized manner, the book covers the story of a young man who becomes involved with revolutionaries who tasked them with a job, to kill a high ranking tsarist official, his own father.

Here's the free epub for you guys to download it.
The book consists of 8 chapters, so ideally we'll cover 1 per week but before committing to another failed bookclub I'll ask how many of you want to participate.
For those who're in, another option is to do one chapter on a bi-weekly basis. Let me know in the comments which one you prefer (one chapter per week or one chapter every two-weeks)

We'll have our first thread on Tuesday, January 28th. Beware that the translation you pick is from the original 1913 version, not the 1922 version. We'll cover chapter one on the first thread.
!bookworms if anyone else is interested the bookclub will be on Andrey Bely "Petersburg".

Well, the first Russian novel was our most successful bookclub. Also, is not a 1913 translation, but the translation of the 1913 edition (the original Russian was published in 2 editions and there are modern translations for both).

@TR você que é fã de literatura russa não quer participar também?
A Editora 34 tinha anunciado uma tradução de Petersburgo em português em 2021, mas até hoje ainda não foi publicada
Vou ter que ler uma tradução pro inglês.

Vou ver se leio o pdf mesmo. Eu não gosto muito desse negocio de clube de livro porque eu não costumo ler regularmente. ás vezes eu leio metade de um livro em um dia e depois passo 3 semanas sem ler nada.

Se você gostar e acabar lendo o livro inteiro em menos de uma semana serve igual, você pode comentar nas threads o que você for lembrar de cada capítulo.
