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 One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.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...
評分你自命不凡,但其實一直默默無聞。 你長相平庸,你的兩眼總是毫無神采,你被丟在人群裏沒人會注意到你。 你很努力的想要改變自己,你想在其他方麵彌補自己的不足,於是你總是做齣一副“飽讀詩書”的樣子,但你自己知道其實你讀的書大部分都是囫圇吞棗完全不加思索。 你總認為自...
評分 評分在陀思妥耶夫斯基早期作品中,他更多的是關注下層人們的痛苦。而這些痛苦更多的是由於社會環境所造成的。直到他經曆瞭死刑-改判-流放,經過瞭牢獄那種極端惡劣的生活環境之後,纔獲得瞭一種全新的視角。這種視角雛形初見於《死屋手記》。 《死屋手記》記錄的是陀翁在西伯利亞的...

評分越看越被歇斯底裏的瘋魔帶走,顫抖著感受到與自身的親近感。Such a self-loathing egoist, timid and arrogant to wicked. want his wanting. A male hysteria, an anti-hero.
