The smiling guy in the image above has done something incredible for Russian literature.
Football player Gustavo Scarpa has published a review of “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” by Leo Tolstoy. After that, Russian classics began to top the sales rankings on the Brazilian branch of Amazon.
Scarpa himself said that he did not expect such success. He has been talking about books on his YouTube channel since 2019.
We applaud the literary football player and hope other athletes will use their fame for positive ends like promoting the greatest written works in history.
