Classic Russian Literature
The Brothers Karamazov, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, the short stories of Chekhov. Russian literature is famously character-dense and every name has three forms — character avatars keep Dmitri, Mitya, and Dmitri Fyodorovich tied to the same face, and click-to-explain catches every patronymic, peasant term, and rank.
