Crime and Punishment (Collector`s Editions)

Aleksandr Malyshev — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 10:22:31 +0000

Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart…”Crime and Punishment is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written. From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder.From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime.The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence: most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment, as against the constraints of morality and human laws; and our agonised awareness of the world’s harsh injustices and of our own mortality, as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality.

Notes from Underground and the Double

Aleksandr Malyshev — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 07:42:33 +0000

This Arcturus Classics edition presents two of Dostoevsky’s shorter novels in one volume, Notes from the Underground and The Double.Notes from the Underground is a dystopian tale of the Underground Man, a retired civil servant living in St Petersburg who retreats from society. This work is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel and influenced many classic works including Metamorphosis and Invisible Man.The Double tells the story of Golyadkin who, on a bitter snowy night, encounters a stranger who looks exactly like him. They become friends, but then Golyadkin realises that unlike himself, his double is socially successful — likeable and charming — and thus the relationship starts to deteriorate. Golyadkin is caught up in a psychological battle that can only end in tragedy.These two works draw on Dostoevsky’s acute observation of Russian life; his thoughts on philosophy and social mores; and his reactions to the work of Nikolai Gogol. At the heart of both lies Dostoevsky’s ruminations on the need to establish one’s true identity and how society can distort the perception of who one truly is.This edition is presented with a striking contemporary cover-design, bringing this timeless classic to modern readers.

Автор: Dostoevsky Fyodor, «The Idiot»: The Idiot tells the story of Prince Myshkin, a man of pure innocence, whose kindness and open-hearted simplicity make many of the more earthy characters he encounters mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight.

The Idiot = Идиот: на англ.яз. Dostoyevsky F.

Fri, 09 Apr 2021 09:10:10 +0000

Автор: Dostoevsky Fyodor, «The Idiot = Идиот: на англ.яз»: The Idiot is a remarkable literary feat; a true accomplishment. It not only shows and represents true human complexity, but it births it, both in the inner workings of its passionate characters, and in the overall story.
Prince Myshkin returns to St. Petersburg from Switzerland. «The Beautiful Man», has too much compassion, for this cynical age. He believes every person, trusts all, feels the pain, of the suffering unfortunates, thus has no common sense. Who is he?
Simple? Gullible? An Idiot? Or a Saint?
Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot accomodate the goodness of this «idiot».
