Listening to audiobooks is a good way to improve your listening and comprehensive skills. Here is one of the best FREE Russian audiobooks collections (both fiction and non-fiction):
http://kpnemo.ru/ebook/audiobooks/
The site is in Russian, so you need at least basic Russian reading skills to understand the annotations, instructions and comments.
The collection includes:
- Russian classics (Dostoyevsky, Gogol, Tolstoy, a complete set of Checkov's works, etc.)
- works of Soviet and contemporary Russian authors, all genres: prose, fantasy, poetry, humor, detectives, sci-fi, thrillers, kids books and other.
- literature of all times, countries and genres (Zelazny, London, Kortasar, Dumas, Vonnegut, Thackeray, philosophical treatises of ancient authors and many others).
Again: ALL BOOKS ARE IN RUSSIAN. The collection is free for registered users, but to register you need an invitation (it's a closed site).
I can provide you with invitation, but the number of invitations I can give away is limited, so PLEASE check the site first, see if you like it/need it. Please don't ask for invitation if you're just curious, but not really going to download anything - leave them to people who really need these audiobooks.
To ask for the invitation, PM me, stating your working e-mail adress. I'll send it to you as fast as I can.
