Description
I took it from series of "Classic literature" which describes typical features of literature in different countries.I hope my translation from Russian is not that bad

This is hilariously accurate for all three counts
Let me try for classic Greek and Italian literature (including the Aeneid):
Long, epic journeys, spiritual and physical, traversing through strange new lands, including the afterlife.
The gods may or may not mess around with events. Expect brutal battles and divine trolling.
...Is France reading Les Miserables?
5 pages of plot- 100 pages of spirit or matter? XD
Hermann Hesse maintained a pretty good balance (I lost count on how often I read Steppenwolf and Demian).
Anton Chekov's work is not too long- then again, he wrote plays and short stories.
I remember my mother telling my sister and I why some people find classic Russian literature arduous to read through. My sister asked why, and my mother launched into a long, drawn-out description of us eating dinner, the history of our time living in our house, and our town itself

ахахахах, просвещаешь буржуев по поводу депрессивно-философской русской литературы? ну не всё ж так печально ж. Чехов напалмом жжот, например. ну а Булгаков вообще просто щидевр мистерии, философии и юмора)

I'll add about russian literature:
Half of classics are: everything is really bad! And Now let's talk about it at 700 pages.
Another half is: everything is really bad! And now 700 pages of sarcasm, trolling and black humor about it.

Можно и на русскомxD
Ну, у нас есть светлые товарищи. Как Фэт (пусть он и немец по кровиxD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Светлые у нас преимущественно либо поэты, либо космисты (но последние в основном фантастику писали) - ибо последние размышляли не о том, какой окружающий мир хреновый, почему он такой и как человеку быть в этой ситуации, а о том, какой бы охрененный мир нам всем забацать)

Что-то я не припоминаю светлых поэтов.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ну как же? Пушкин, Гумилёв, Есенин хотя бы)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ну "Деревня" Пушкина никак светлым не отдаёт. Да и повесть в стихах "Евгений Онегин" Не радостная радостная (убийство, разочарование в любви, медведи уносят барышень😆)
у Гумилёва знаю только Жирафа так что судить тут не берусь.
А Есенин. Ну не знаю, хоть он и любви к Родине писал, да всё равно есть что-то во всём творчестве грустное (может я так думаю из-за самого Есенина, чью жизнь счастливой, да и долгой не назовёшь)

Не, ну у каждого поэта были всякие стихи - это не говорит о том, что направленность не была в основном светлой. Так-то и у Лермонтова можно найти светлые стихи, при желании)

I think so, I forgot the name to it though

Cute! 
Danish classics are... hmm... good question. They actually tend to be just... tellings of life with not really exactly a plot. Barndommens Gade is about a poor girl's lige in the 1930s and Stuk is about rich people in the 18... 18.... 1870s? There are a bunch more of less extreme people, like suburbian and stuff.
Huh, what a funny tendency, I hadn't noticed until you made me think of it

Thank you!^^
I know only Hans Christian Andersen (I`m not original here I know )
At the lessons of literature in school what do you learn from foreign literature?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We didn't learn much about foreign litterature unless we were taking that language and even so, litterature was never really a focus point

Nice. American literature: underdog is introduced, something bad happens, underdog becomes hero, hero stops bad thing or bad guy, everyone is friends with hero, then end XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I associate American literature with Mark Twain and The Catcher in the rye:3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome! Unfortunetly, I've only heard of one Mark Twain book during class in Elementary School. Beyond that, the only American books I've read are Vampire High, some Nancy Drew books, the Twilight books, the Hunger Game books and the Divergent books.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
They.. don't eactly count as American classics, though? I think the Nancy drew books might barely make it, ut to be counted as a classic, you sort of have to live on through the generations...
(Not that I doubt books like that could live on XD)
Catcher in the Rye, Oliver Twist, The Great Gatsby are the American classics I know, though there are more, I'm sure ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I wasn't naming classics. I was naming American books I've read. I have read The Great Gatsby, but Oliver Twist I've only watched in film (the black and white version).
Also, just because books like Twilight and the Hunger Games are more modern, doesn't mean they can't become classics. That usually happens through time, if people still love them just as much as before. Twilight can be debated, though the Hunger Games still has the chance to be considered a classic, including Divergent.

Oh, yes, I absolutely agree, they can still become classics but they aren't classics now. Sorry if I didn't say that right

I know everything from your list but "Vampire High"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not that popular of a book, but I enjoyed it. Then again, I like any story with a neat twist in the vampire mythology (including sparkley ones

The last book I tried to read about vampires was "Vampire Academy" (after words of friend that there're a lot of Russians in this seriesxD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh, sounds interesting. What's it about?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
About two girls-vampires. One of them is princess another one is her guardian and they are students of Academy for vampire. I've read only one book from series so I can't say what's the main plot of book

Seems interesting. Is there anything unique about the vampires? Like in Vampire High, vampires lived among humans and often wore sunglasses. They explained a bit about how vampires can change into bats or wolves and the process of it. It also mentioned about drinking blood. Vampires, in that world, usually bought blood from donations. They can also mark a human as their blood donor, if they wanted, and that human was protected from any other vampire, except the one that marked them. Is there any unique about the vampires in Vampire Academy?

They can rule one of powers: water, fire, air, ground.
They don`t care there about sun as I remember.
And if I don`t lie they can eat usual food.
I don`t remember clearly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the vampires being burned by the sun is usually in film. In books, I've never seen that happen. There was Twilight, which had the sparkly vampires, but that was it. Controlling an element is an interesting one.

I loved the Russia part. So depressing. I love it. (and so familiar in Finland too.) 😄
