Try Betterworldbooks.com
Also in US shipping books overseas is very expensive. The least expensive choice is USPS and it will be by weight.

Before you will drown in Russian literature I would recommend to start with classic French literature.
Alexandre Dumas
Honoré de Balzac
Victor Hugo
Emile Zola
George Sand
Guy de Maupassant
Gustave Flaubert

This is a children book. How old are you?
If you are looking for a deeper meaning read Dostoevsky.

It is a personal choice.
For me buying is for collecting and library is for reading.
