doroga, put' in Russian literature / philosophy

[Anne Fisher]

Dear Viktoria,

There is a funny discussion of train travel in Il'f and Petrov's  
Dvenadtsat' stul'ev (chapter 4: Muza dal'nykh stranstvii). There's a  
discussion of Russian roads at the end of Chapter 6, Antilopa-Gnu, in  
Zolotoi telenok (as well as the description of the cars of the auto  
rally passing Bender et al. by at the end of Chapter 7: Sladkoe  
bremia slavy). Also, Gogol talks about roads at the beginning and end  
of Chapter 12 of Mertvye dushi.

All the best,

Annie Fisher
