Fyodor Mikailovich Dostoevsky’s life was as dark and dramatic as the great novels he wrote. He was born in Moscow in 1821. A short first novel, Poor Folk (1846) brought him instant success, but his writing career was cut short by his arrest for alleged subversion against Tsar Nicholas I in 1849. In prison he was given the “silent treatment” for eight months (guards even wore velvet soled boots) before he was led in front a firing squad. Dressed in a death shroud, he faced an open grave and awaited execution, when suddenly, an order arrived commuting his sentence. He then spent four years at hard labor in a Siberian prison, where he began to suffer from epilepsy, and he returned to St. Petersburg only a full ten years after he had left in chains.
His prison experiences coupled with his conversion to a profoundly religious philosophy formed the basis for his great novels. But it was his fortuitous marriage to Anna Snitkina, following a period of utter destitution brought about by his compulsive gambling, that gave Dostoevsky the emotional stability to complete Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1868-69), The Possessed (1871-72), and The Brothers Karamazov (1879-80). When Dostoevsky died in 1881, he left a legacy of masterworks that influenced the great thinkers and writers of the Western world and immortalized him as a giant among writers of world literature.

Dostoevsky’s most revolutionary novel, Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original.
不只是地下人——读陀思妥耶夫斯基《地下室手记》有感 引子:存在主义文学的开山之作 在现代西方哲学史上,萨特是一个不得不提的名字,作为将存在主义哲学发扬光大的这位法国思想家、革命家,在奠定其哲学基础的过程中深受一位俄国作家的影响,那就是在西方 “拥有最广泛读...
评分陀思妥耶夫斯基,一位致力于不断探究、挖掘人性的作家,其才华让后来者往往只能“绝望地羡慕”,除开闻名遐迩的《罪与罚》,《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》更是以未成品身份高居文学之峰。相比之下,《地下室手记》则因体量较小,不那么引人注目,而有被人遗忘之虞。——对于陀氏爱好者来...
评分同谋者和审判家,是读书时自己心中要去充当的两种角色。这是伍尔夫教给我的。我们要学会和作者并肩走着,通过他的眼睛和心去看问题,假设自己一无所知,不要处处发扬所谓的批判精神。同时,常常是掩卷之后,我们应该站在一个制高点上,俯视所有的大山小山,去审判那些真诚的和...
评分你自命不凡,但其实一直默默无闻。 你长相平庸,你的两眼总是毫无神采,你被丢在人群里没人会注意到你。 你很努力的想要改变自己,你想在其他方面弥补自己的不足,于是你总是做出一副“饱读诗书”的样子,但你自己知道其实你读的书大部分都是囫囵吞枣完全不加思索。 你总认为自...
评分我们应该感谢博学的博尔赫斯,他曾经用他惯用的那种平缓精准的语言,为我们总结(或者我们以为总结)了陀思妥耶夫斯基的激情和勤劳的一生,以不同阶段的不同身份的形式(或者也是同时存在):士官生、少尉、画报的撰稿人、《先驱报》吃惊的读者、死刑犯、囚犯、士兵、准尉、小...
越看越被歇斯底里的疯魔带走,颤抖着感受到与自身的亲近感。Such a self-loathing egoist, timid and arrogant to wicked. want his wanting. A male hysteria, an anti-hero.
