Bobok

Ce livre est plus connu sous le titre Le bourg de Stepantchikovo et sa population. Par une lettre, le narrateur est invité à rejoindre son oncle de toute urgence dans le village de Stepantchikovo, où il devra épouser une jeune gouvernante qu'il n'a pourtant jamais vue. Rendu sur les lieux, il pense se trouver dans un asile de fous: l'entière maisonnée est soumise à la tyrannie imbécile d'un tartuffe de province, anime d'une haine inexpugnable envers le monde qui a fait de lui un raté.Ce roman fut écrit par un auteur qui, après dix ans de bagne et de relégation, revenait dans la vie littéraire."

Carnet d'un inconnu

Raskolnikov, un jeune homme désargenté, a dû abandonner ses études et survit dans un galetas de Saint-Pétersbourg. Sans un sou en poche, le voilà réduit à confier la montre de son père à une odieuse prêteuse sur gages. Convaincu de sa supériorité morale, un fol orgueil le pousse à préméditer l'assassinat de la vieille. Il en débarrasserait ainsi les misérables, quitte à racheter son crime avec l'argent volé. Mais le diable s'en mêle, et le révolté se retrouve l'auteur d'un double meurtre... Ses rêves de grandeur s'effondrent, Le voici poursuivi par un juge et hanté par la culpabilité... La rédemption lui viendra-t-elle de la prostituée Sonia, dévouée jusqu'au sacrifice, ou de l'aveu de son crime ? A moins que l'expiation, tel un chemin de croix, exige le martyre de sa conscience...

Crime et Châtiment

Le héros de ce récit de jeunesse (1847) tombe amoureux d’une jeune femme mariée à un vieillard – la logeuse de l’appartement dans lequel il vient de trouver une chambre. Si son intrusion constitue une crise dans la vie du couple étrange, nul ne saura jamais pourtant quel lien les unit, quelle folie ou quelle affection mortifère. Car telles sont la force et la modernité de ce récit que de rester ouvert, de ne donner aucune clé à l’inévitable éviction du protagoniste.

La Logeuse

„Idiot“ is the fifth novel by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The novel was first published in the journal „Russian Herald“ from January 1868 to February 1869. It is one of the most beloved works of the writer who most fully expressed both the moral and philosophical position of Dostoevsky and his artistic principles in the 1860s. The novel „Idiot“ became a realization of the old creative ideas of Dostoevsky, his main character — Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, according to the author's judgment, is „a truly wonderful personality“, he is the embodiment of goodness and Christian morality. And precisely because of his disinterestedness, kindness and honesty, the extraordinary love for people in the world of money and hypocrisy, the environs call Myshkin an „idiot“.  Pretty illustrations by Nataliia Borisova provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

L'idiot

Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the tsars, is determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammeled individual will. When he commits an act of murder and theft, he sets into motion a story that, for its excruciating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its depth of characterization and vision is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky’s masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imaginations. Dostoevsky’s drama of sin, guilt, and redemption transforms the sordid story of an old woman’s murder into the nineteenth century’s profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel. Award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky render this elusive and wildly innovative novel with an energy, suppleness, and range of voice that do full justice to the genius of its creator.

Crime Et Châtiment: Roman

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.

Les Frères Karamazov II

The Brothers Karamasov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbalinventiveness of Dostoevsky’s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel.
