| Discussion: Fjodor Dostojevskij Pages: 1 2 i am a keralite, there is a beautiful story i malayalam(my language),were the author, perumbadavam sreedharan, caricatures with immense poignancy the l the period of dostyovesky the period durinb which he was writing the gambler during the time which he fell in love with anna. >>By joby I'm reading notes from the underground.. has anyone read that? my friend told me i should read that first because it is a basis for dostoevsky's philosophy in other things that he writes... >>By pedanticsatire Anyone read "The Brothers Karamazov" ? I loved it. Would love to discuss it. >>By Titivillus i haven t yet read "brotherers...' . i recomend to understand Dostoeivsky the man and the writer is to read " Notes from the underground' :i fond it really interesting and i think in this book he anticipates the Absurd phiosophy and the existencial theories..is there anyone who share this views? >>By the haunted I also recently finished "notes from underground." The story was wonderful and sad. Perhaps Dostoyevsky is letting us know what will happen to English / Philosophy majors if they don't go to enough dance parties. I also felt like an elitist intellectual bitch when I was reading it, maybe that's his way of relating himself to the reader. It was great! >>By bak For me "The Gambler" was decisive. I read it as a young man and it left a lasting impression. It's not one of his most well-known works but to me one of his best. >>By crazyhorse notes from the undergroung is a turn in dosto's work. but its translation in english doesn't note appear to me as the best. as for instance the first sentences. i'm "spitful" some version says "bitter" or whatever they are losing something... and from this book all his writing changed. he was very french before (in terms of writing and modeling the stories) a bit like Balzac or Flaubert. after that he is Dostoyevski!! >>By MaxB Well, Notes From The Underground is pretty much the only Dostoevsky I like. :p The english translation might be losing the naunce and foreshadowing of the original, however, as a whole, it's still a very powerful first sentence. >>By Verb i read "notes from the underground" , ifound it really interesting and it s like a semi-autobiography. i enjoyed also " the possessed" , " house of the dead" , but " crime and punishment" beside "the idiot" seems so terrible to me ;in one word "crime and punishment" is the most terrible book i ve ever read in literature. >>By noble_savage It has been years since I last read Dostoevesky but the other day I bought myself a brand new copy of Notes from the underground and read it in a couple of days. have to reread house of the dead again. >>By hustvedt You are not logged in.
