I read a book about 20 years ago translated in Romanian...Two very thick volumes about some guy selling his soul to the devil in order to read other people's thoughts....Or somewhere along those lines. I completely forgot the name of the book or its author. Can anybody help?

Lots of stories on this theme but have not found a match to your description but I didn't spend too long searching under "book fiction sells his soul to the devil". Try it yourself.
There is a short story called Gimmicks Three by Isaac Asimov who was born in Russia.
The Monk by Matthew Lewis was a cult horror story back in Lord Byron's day.
There is an opera Svanda Dudak by a Czech
An episode in the Jonathan Creek series
The Dick & the Devil - Robert Dichiara 1989

There are two well known authors who adopted the same theme: Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Mann. This is simply a stab in the dark, but, who knows...........

Try Ebay. They'll sell anything to anyone. I don't know what a slightly used soul is going for these days. Probably not much. Too many on the market.
