Fiódor Dostoievski, página 15 de 58

La pasión amorosa y la pasión por el juego se dan cita en esta novela, de innegable transfondo autobiográfico, que Dostoievski escribió en 1863. Para el protagonista, el juego es una forma de escapar al infierno que supone el amor no correspondido, pero los tormentos que depara el azar de la ruleta no son menores que los del corazon herido. El jugador es una novela magistral donde las contradicciones que envuelven la condicion humana se presentan con la turbulenta fuerza que acompaña a aquellos que deciden jugarse el todo por el todo en la busqueda desesperada de la libertad y la belleza.

Spinto da considerazioni teoriche, oltre che dalla miseria, il giovane Raskol'nikov uccide un'anziana usuraia e si condanna cosi al rimorso e alfa nevrosi; trova infine pace nell'espiazione e nell'amore per la dolce Sonja. "Delitto e castigo" e dunque il romanzo della perdizione, ma di una perdizione, che, proprio nel suo momento piu oscuro, trova una luce che la redime. E in ognuno dei molteplici personaggi sopravvive una scintilla di bonta, soffocata dall'orrore eppure ancora palpitante di speranza. Intessuto di una grande complessita di temi, il romanzo riflette i principali motivi che agitarono la Russia di meta Ottocento e l'animo dell'autore: dagli ideali protosocialisti a un superomismo quasi nietzschiano, fino al misticismo messianico tipicamente slavo.

Arkadij Dolgorukij ha diciannove anni, propugna convinzioni assolute e nutre un''ambizione sconfinata, pari solo alla propria ingenuita. Figlio illegittimo di un dissoluto proprietario terriero, e combattuto fra il desiderio di denunciare le malefatte del genitore e il bisogno di esserne amato, ed e sotto la spinta di queste opposte pulsioni che raggiunge il padre a San Pietroburgo per prendere servizio nel posto che questi gli ha procurato. In realta, pero, Arkadij ha un piano un delirio di grandezza che ha trovato terreno fertile nell''isolamento in cui il ragazzo e cresciuto ed e entrato in possesso di un misterioso documento, che dovrebbe assicurargli un infallibile ascendente sui suoi interlocutori, se solo fosse sicuro di come esercitarlo e di quale risultato intenda ottenere. Nato dall''intenzione di scrivere un''opera ideologica sul tema delle "famiglie casuali", terreno di coltura per una gioventu inquieta e sradicata, L''adolescente trascende il progetto iniziale dell''autore riuscendo a toccare corde molto intime, temi che ci hanno sfiorati tutti nel percorso verso l''eta adulta. A completare il testo, questo volume presenta Vita di un grande peccatore, il primo abbozzo di un''opera da cui sarebbero poi scaturiti tre fra i piu importanti romanzi di Dostoevskij: I demoni, L''adolescente e, in parte, I fratelli Karamazov.

Publicada en 1866, constituye con "Los hermanos Karamazov", las novelas probablemente más conocidas del escritor ruso Fiodor Mihailovitch Dostoyeski (1821-1881). Tal como nos tiene acostumbrados el autor, el retrato psicologico de los personajes _dignos de una tragedia clasica griega- alcanza grados muy dificiles de igualar, y sin embargo, no ha perdido la frescura de cualquier thriller actual, en cuyas redes queda prendido el lector desde el primer momento.

En esta novela corta, el genial Dostoievski relata la emoción inesperada del primer amor y la confusión del despertar sexual, desde el punto de vista de un niño. El protagonista, un pequeño de 11 años, se enamora perdidamente de Madame M, una mujer casada, y muchos años mayor. Por supuesto, todo ocurre platonicamente, pero el niño soporta diferentes peripecias con tal de complacer a su amada. La novela refleja la primera epoca creativa de Dostoievski, es una magnifica descripcion psicologica llena de romanticismo y melancolia.

In A Raw Youth, Fyodor Dostoevsky delves into the tumultuous lives of youth caught in the throes of existential uncertainty and moral degradation. This novel, characterized by its psychological depth and complex characterizations, is written in Dostoevskys signature style of exploring the darker aspects of human nature through vivid dialogue and introspective monologues. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia, the narrative intricately weaves themes of family, societal pressures, and the quest for identity, illuminating the struggles faced by the youthful protagonist and his peers in a rapidly changing world. Fyodor Dostoevsky, a prominent figure in Russian literature, was profoundly influenced by his own tumultuous life experiences, including his time spent in Siberian exile and his encounters with radical ideas of his era. His philosophical musings and exploration of the dichotomy between good and evil are at the forefront of A Raw Youth, reflecting his deep understanding of the societal challenges confronting the youth of his time. These themes resonate with Dostoevskys earlier works, showcasing his evolution as a writer dedicated to unraveling the complexities of the human soul. A Raw Youth is a compelling read for those intrigued by the psychological intricacies of youth and the philosophical questions that arise in search of purpose. This novel not only serves as a significant commentary on the uncertainties of adolescence but also invites readers to engage with their own ethical dilemmas. As a pivotal work in Dostoevskys oeuvre, it is essential for anyone seeking to comprehend the confluence of personal and societal conflict in literature.

"Written in Sergei Dovlatov's unique voice and unmatched style, The Zone is a satirical novelization of Dovlatov's time as a prison guard for the Soviet Army in the early 1960s. Snapshots of the prison are juxtaposed with the narrator's letters to Igor Markovich of Hermitage Press in which he urges Igor to publish the very book we're reading. As Igor receives portions of the prison camp manuscript, so too does the reader. Arguably Dovlatov's most significant work, The Zone illuminates the twisted absurdity of the life of a prison guard: "Almost any prisoner would have been suited to the role of a guard. Almost any guard deserved a prison term." Full of Dovlatov's trademark dark humor and dry wit, The Zone's narrator is an extension of his author, and thebook fittingly begins with the following disclaimer: "The names, events, and dates given here are all real. I invented only those details that were not essential. Therefore, any resemblance between the characters in this book and living people is intentional and malicious. And all fictionalizing was unexpected and accidental." What follows is a complex novel that captures two sides of Dovlatov: the writer and the man"--

"The Russian nation is a new and wonderful phenomenon in the history of mankind. The character of the people differs to such a degree from that of the other Europeans that their neighbours find it impossible to diagnose them." This affirmation by Dostoyevsky, the prophetic journalist, offers a key to the treatment in his novels of the troubles and aspirations of his race. He wrote with a sacramental fervour whether he was writing as a personal agent or an impersonal, novelist or journalist. Hence his rage with the calmer men, more gracious interpreters of the modern Sclav, who like Ivan Tourguenieff were able to see Russia on a line with the western nations, or to consider her maternal throes from the disengaged, safe retreat of an arm-chair exile in Paris. Not so was lame Russe to be given her new literature in the eyes of M. Dostoieffsky, strained with watching, often red with tears and anger.Those other nations, he saidproudly looking for the symptoms of the world-intelligence in his ownthose other nations of Europe may maintain that they have at heart a common aim and a common ideal. In fact they are divided among themselves by a thousand interests, territorial or other. Each pulls his own way with ever-growing determination. It would seem that every individual nation aspires to the discovery of the universal ideal for humanity, and is bent on attaining that ideal by force of its own unaided strength. Hence, he argued, each European nation is an enemy to its own welfare and that of the world in general.
