I can name quite a few; but #GopinathMohanty, whom my parents and I have translated, is just as great, and, in many senses, greater. We need to be cautious before passing carte blanche judgement against #Indianwriters. I've read &/or taught all the novelists below save Lovecraft.
#CSLewis and #JRRTolkien taught my father at Christ Church, Oxford. Arthur Conan Doyle and Jules Verne certainly don't bat in the same league as Chekov. And to put Jonathan Swift in here? How's that? #GopinathMohanty is in the league of #Tolstoy, #Dostoevsky, #Dickens & #Hardy.
As well, I've pretty much read the bulk of the writings of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Dickens and Hardy. And, to this list of #greats, I could add two or three dozen European novelists, but let me add #GeorgeEliot: #GopinathMohanty is as brilliant & as trenchantly incisive as her.

2) Grazie alle scellerate minacce su gas e petrolio che abbiamo fatto senza attuare, la #Russia sta incassando sulle partite correnti più di quanto avesse sperato, grazie all'aumento dei prezzi
3) Il #Rublo è tornato a livelli pre-guerra grazie alle manovre, chapeau, di risposta della #BackOfRussia che ha raddoppiato i tassi di interesse (cosa che si può fare quando si batte moneta, non come da noi) e forzando la conversione in Rubli dell'80% dell'#export (che aumenta)
1/8 We’re big believers in the utility of #Blockchain – use cases such as real estate, B2B contracts, supply chains etc.
Though, with the philosophy pertaining to society and the human psyche, can decentralization reach the potential many believe?

2/8 In much of their work, philosophers such as #Nietzsche & novelists like #Dostoevsky (who is studied a lot by philosophers), theorized that utopia was unattainable due to our fundamental desires for greed, power, selfishness, gratification, jealousy, etc.
3/8 As a consequence, there will always be the haves and have-nots across various parts of society.
“Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others...” #FyodorDostoevsky
“Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself.” #Dostoevsky
“A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense. It sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn’t it? And surely he knows that no one has offended him, & that he himself has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it...” #Dostoevsky
