📱 eBook en inglés THE DREAM OF A RIDICULOUS MAN

"I am a ridiculous man. Now they call me a madman... but I am not offended."
Determined that nothing in the world matters and resolved to end his life, a lonely man falls into a deep sleep and embarks on an extraordinary celestial journey. He is transported to a "Second Earth"—a paradise inhabited by humans who have not yet "fallen," living in a state of perfect love and harmony. But the Ridiculous Man brings a dark infection with him: the knowledge of lies, shame, and atomization. This searingly beautiful story is Dostoevskys most direct exploration of the Golden Age, the nature of sin, and the possibility of a world redeemed by love.
A Battle Against the Void: The story begins in the quintessential Dostoevskian "Underground"—a state of total indifference where the protagonist believes that "it is all the same." The encounter with a distressed little girl on a rainy St. Petersburg night serves as the catalyst for his dream, proving that even in the most hardened nihilist, the spark of human pity cannot be fully extinguished.
The Prophecy of Active Love: Upon waking, the Ridiculous Man is transformed. He becomes a "preacher" of a truth that the rational world finds insane. Dostoevsky uses this narrative to argue that the "Golden Age" is not a historical myth but a psychological possibility. It is a powerful antidote to the cynical philosophies of the 19th century, asserting that to love others as oneself is the only "logic" that can save humanity.
