L'acte fondateur du roman est le meurtre de la vieille usurière, dans un immeuble de Saint-Pétersbourg, par l'étudiant Raskolnikov : sa réflexion sur le mobile du crime, l'influence de Sonia ou une mystérieuse puissance intérieure, poussent le héros à se dénoncer et à devenir l'objet d'un châtiment librement consenti. C'est pendant les années de bagne que se révèle à lui son amour pour Sonia, et le chemin de la rédemption. Crime et Châtiment est le deuxième "grand roman" de Dostoïevski, qu'il écrivit en même temps que Le joueur, en 1866, alors qu'il était revenu de sa déportation en Sibérie et qu'il entrait dans les années les plus productives de sa carrière : L'Idiot, L'Eternel Mari et Les Démons allaient paraître de 1866 à 1871.

Les Frères Karamazov, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

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 One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.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

Carnets Du Sous Sol

Il y a le père, Fiodor Pavlovich, riche, malhonnête et débauché, et ses trois fils légitimes : Mitia, impulsif, orgueilleux, sauvage ; Yvan, intellectuel, raffiné, intransigeant ; Aliocha, sincère, pieux, naïf. Et puis il y a le fils illégitime, Smerdiakov, libertin cynique vivant en serviteur chez son père. L’un d’eux sera parricide.Roman complet et flamboyant, Les Frères Karamazov rassemble une intrigue policière, plusieurs histoires d’amour, des exposés théologiques et métaphysiques éblouissants et des personnages inoubliables déchirés par leurs conflits intérieurs. Sans doute le chef-d’œuvre de Dostoïevski.

Les Frères Karamazov II

L'intrigue principale tourne autour des trois fils d'un homme impudique, vulgaire et sans principes (Fiodor Pavlovitch Karamazov), et du parricide commis par l'un d'entre eux. En realite, les enfants sont au nombre de quatre puisque le pere donne naissance a un batard qu'il nommera Smerdiakov. Chacun des trois fils represente un ideal-type de la societe russe de la fin du xixe siecle: Alexei, le benjamin, est un homme de foi; Ivan, le deuxieme fils, est un intellectuel materialiste qui cherche a savoir si tout est permis, dans la mesure ou Dieu n'existe pas; Dimitri, leur tres exalte demi-frere aine, est un homme impetueux en qui le vice et la vertu se livrent une grande bataille: ce dernier incarne, selon l'auteur lui-meme, l'homme russe ."

L'Adolescent

Ecrit sous la forme d'un monologue ou d'un journal, ce récit met en scène un homme qui, vivant dans le souterrain, c'est-à-dire dans un monde qui est la négation de la réalité objective, proclame sa liberté et son droit à l'irrationnel.

Notes d'un souterrain

The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary. Nevertheless it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed. I have tried to expose to the view of the public more distinctly than is commonly done, one of the characters of the recent past. He is one of the representatives of a generation still living. In this fragment, entitled "Underground, " this person introduces himself and his views, and, as it were, tries to explain the causes owing to which he has made his appearance and was bound to make his appearance in our midst. In the second fragment there are added the actual notes of this person concerning certain events in his life.

Alternate cover edition for ISBN 9722329723 / 9789722329729For previous cover edition see hereO último grande romance de Dostoiévski (1879-1880), terminado pouco tempo antes da sua morte, em São Petersburgo (1881) vem, juntamente com as obras "Crime e Castigo" (1866), "O Idiota" (1868) e "Os Possessos" (1871-72), provar que a fase final da sua vida foi, sem dúvida, a mais produtiva. "Os Irmãos Karamázov" é uma das mais geniais criações literárias de todos os tempos. Analista rigoroso do comportamento humano, Dostoiévski traz à tona o próprio sentimento de culpa pelo assassínio do pai. O autor debate de uma forma sublime as infindáveis dicotomias da natureza humana, revelando uma inquietação que é já a do homem moderno. "Os irmãos Karamázov" é, assim, a última marca deixada por um dos maiores génios de sempre. Nina Guerra e Filipe Guerra são, à semelhança do primeiro, tradutores a partir do russo deste segundo volume e vencedores da última edição do Grande Prémio de Tradução Literária APT/ Pen Clube Português.

MY DEAREST BARBARA ALEXIEVNA, -How happy I was last night-how immeasurably, how impossibly happy! That was because for once in your life you had relented so far as to obey my wishes. At about eight o'clock I awoke from sleep (you know, my beloved one, that I always like to sleep for a short hour after my work is done)-I awoke, I say, and, lighting a candle, prepared my paper to write, and trimmed my pen. Then suddenly, for some reason or another, I raised my eyes-and felt my very heart leap within me! For you had understood what I wanted, you had understood what my heart was craving for. Yes, I perceived that a corner of the curtain in your window had been looped up and fastened to the cornice as I had suggested should be done; and it seemed to me that your dear face was glimmering at the window, and that you were looking at me from out of the darkness of your room, and that you were thinking of me.

Poor Folk

IN UNDERTAKING to describe the recent and strange incidents in our town, till lately wrapped in uneventful obscurity, I find myself forced in absence of literary skill to begin my story rather far back, that is to say, with certain biographical details concerning that talented and highly-esteemed gentleman, Stepan Trofimovitch Verhovensky. I trust that these details may at least serve as an introduction, while my projected story itself will come later.

I will say at once that Stepan Trofimovitch had always filled a particular rôle among us, that of the progressive patriot, so to say, and he was passionately fond of playing the part-so much so that I really believe he could not have existed without it. Not that I would put him on a level with an actor at a theatre, God forbid, for I really have a respect for him. This may all have been the effect of habit, or rather, more exactly of a generous propensity he had from his earliest years for indulging in an agreeable day-dream in which he figured as a picturesque public character.
