Réfugié dans son sous-sol, le personnage que met en scène Dostoïevski ne cesse de conspuer l’humaine condition pour prôner son droit à la liberté. Et il n’a de répit qu’il n’ait, dans son discours, humilié, diminué, vilipendé les amis de passage ou la maîtresse d’un soir. Un monologue féroce et imprécatoire, magnifiquement rendu par la traduction d’André Markowicz.

Les Carnets du sous-sol

Le Bourgeois de Paris a été publié pour la première fois dans la revue "Vremia", en 1863.

Le Bourgeois de Paris

When Prince Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to St. Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, he meets two very different women: the beautiful and headstrong Aglaya Yepanchin and Nastassya Filippovna, a woman with a questionable reputation and an ambiguous rich benefactor. Myshkin, a gentle and naïve man, falls in love with both women, but his kind and compassionate nature hinders his ability to navigate both his emotions regarding the two women and intrigues of St. Petersburg society. Along with Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot has become one of Fyodor Dostoevsky's most famous and popular novels.

The Idiot

Ordinov se décida enfin à changer sa chambre. Sa logeuse, pauvre veuve d'un fonctionnaire d'Etat, avait été par des circonstances imprévues contrainte de quitter Pétersbourg pour se retirer au fond de sa province, chez ses parents, avant même l'échéance des loyers en cours ...

L'Esprit Souterrain

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881), sometimes transliterated Dostoevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, and essayist. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russia. This translation by Constance Garnett from the original Russian is widely regarded as a reference. Garnett translated seventy volumes of Russian prose for publication, including all of Dostoyevsky's novels. Dostoyevsky's works of fiction include 17 short stories, in this edition we present 7 stories, including two of his 2 most famous works "White Nights" and "Notes From the Underground": WHITE NIGHTS, NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND, A FAINT HEART, A CHRISTMAS TREE AND A WEDDING, POLZUNKOV, A LITTLE HERO and MR. PROHARTCHIN.

White Nights and Other Stories

Just two years after completing Crime and Punishment, which explored the mind of a murderer, Dostoevsky produced another masterpiece, The Idiot. This time the author portrays a truly beautiful soul—a character he found difficult to bring to life because, as he wrote, "beauty is the ideal, and neither my country, nor civilized Europe, know what that ideal of beauty is.” The result was one of Dostoevsky’s greatest characters—Prince Myshkin, a saintly, Christ-like, yet deeply human figure.The story begins when Myshkin arrives on Russian soil after a stay in a Swiss sanatorium. Scorned by St. Petersburg society as an idiot for his generosity and innocence, the prince finds himself at the center of a struggle between a rich, kept woman and a beautiful, virtuous girl, who both hope to win his affection. Unfortunately, Myshkin’s very goodness seems to bring disaster to everyone he meets. The shocking denouement tragically reveals how, in a world obsessed with money, power, and sexual conquest, a sanatorium is the only place for a saint.

L'idiot

Unter den späten Erzählungen und kürzeren Romanen, die in diesem Buch zusammengestellt sind, ist natürlich "Der Spieler" von besonderem Interesse, hat doch Dostojewski lange mit seiner Spielsucht kämpfen müssen und mehrfach hohe und höchste Beträge verloren, vor allem in den Spielbanken von Wiesbaden und Baden-Baden. Die hier versammelten Romane und Novellen werden als die "kleinen Meisterwerke" des Dichters bezeichnet, die in der Reifezeit seines Schaffens entstanden sind.

Le joueur

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

Excerpt from Les Freres Karamazov, Vol. 1Il y en a vingt-cinq, dit-il, qui se regardent les uns les autres en mangeant de la choucroute. Pas une femme n'a jamais franchi ce seuil! Est-ce etonnant! Et c'est vrai? Pourtant, on dit que le starets recoit aussi les dames. Comment cela se fait-il? Demanda-hi tout a coup au moine.
