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 One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.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.
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...
評分自我中心主义者又怎样,高尔基怎么觉得是堕落呢? 我觉得自我中心主义者不够彻底才会变成地下室的人。 因为不够彻底,所以矛盾,而矛盾才是悲剧的根源,极致才是人生; 不够自我中心,所以有时会服从社会的庸俗价值观,而没有独立的自我评价。 也许不是不够,根本就不是自我中...
評分刘小枫老师在《拯救与逍遥》的前言里有这么句话“记得是从陀思妥耶夫斯基那里晓得,要写好小说,先得念好哲学”。 还有这么一段话“高中二年级时,读了小说《被侮辱与被损害的》,我的小说阅历发生了决定性转折,那是一部四十年代的旧译本,竖排、纸张发黄,读完后我...
