I cannot remain mute about Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) when I am talking about my favorite books. The man of extreme knowledge & insight, Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist, journalist, short story writer whose psychological penetration into the human soul had profound influence on the 20th century.
He joined a group of utopian socialists for which he was arrested in 1846 & was sent to Siberia. He spent there four years in hard labour but when he returned back he was a different man.
I have read two works of Fyodor Dostoevsky :
1). Crime & Punishment :- This a story of a poor student who kills a rich money-lender under the self impression of being a person who is extremely talented. Gradually he realises his mistake due to his illness.
2). An Honest Thief :- A collection of short stories starting with the story of a drunkard for whom alcohol is out of the limits of good & evil.
Nietzsche said of Jesus: “it is regrettable that no Dostoevsky lived near him.” He also stated “Dostoevsky was the only psychologist from whom I had anything to learn: he belongs to the happiest windfalls of my life.”
Fyodor Dostoesky is a worth reading writer. If I am allowed, I will certainly place him above Tolstoy.
These books, I love a lot.
