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 One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.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.

評分劉小楓老師在《拯救與逍遙》的前言裏有這麼句話“記得是從陀思妥耶夫斯基那裏曉得,要寫好小說,先得念好哲學”。 還有這麼一段話“高中二年級時,讀瞭小說《被侮辱與被損害的》,我的小說閱曆發生瞭決定性轉摺,那是一部四十年代的舊譯本,竪排、紙張發黃,讀完後我...
評分 評分 評分一開始讀《地下室手記》,我是讀不下去的,前麵幾頁充斥著很多外國小說都會有的神經質的囉嗦,當讀到十幾頁的時候,我開始領略到這部小說的好處,於是從頭開始認真讀瞭一遍。 這部小說,也可以叫做哲學性的雜文,因為情節、人物、環境都體現的不太明顯,而對主人公的心理活動描...
