Krotkaia

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, a former law student, lives in extreme poverty in a tiny, rented room in Saint Petersburg. He has abandoned all attempts to support himself and has devised a plan to murder and rob an elderly pawn-broker, Alyona Ivanovna. While still considering the plan, Raskolnikov makes the acquaintance of Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov, a drunkard who recently squandered his family's little wealth. Marmeladov tells him about his teenage daughter, Sonya, who has chosen to become a prostitute in order to support the family. Raskolnikov also receives a letter from his mother in which she speaks of their coming visit to Saint Petersburg, and describes at length the problems of his sister Dunya, who has been working as a governess, with her ill-intentioned employer. To escape her vulnerable position, and with hopes of helping her brother, Dunya has chosen to marry a wealthy suitor. Raskolnikov is inwardly enraged at her sacrifice, feeling it is the same as what Sonya felt compelled to do.

Crime and Punishment

O 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.

A Christmas Tree and a Wedding - Short Story

Humilies et offenses est un roman de l'ecrivain russe Fiodor Dostoievski (publie en 1861 dans Le Temps) dont c'est la premiere oeuvre d'importance. Comportant une part autobiographique certaine, ce livre relate l'histoire d'Ivan Petrovitch (Vania), romancier phtisique et solitaire, qui aime desesperement Natacha, la fille de l'homme qui l'a eleve, laquelle en aime un autre, le fils du prince Valkovski. La conception du monde de Dostoievski s'y exprime clairement pour la premiere fois: il est possible de croire en la bonte de l'homme; notre salut est entre nos mains. Le succes ne fut pas au rendez-vous tant aupres de la critique qu'aupres des amis de l'ecrivain1.

Humiliés Et Offensés

This short work immediately precedes the publication of what is generally regarded as the turning point in Dostoevsky'ls career, Notes from Underground; its style prefigures the later work and provides the basis for many of the ideas he explores in his later fiction. This thoroughly revised and annotated edition corrects many of the faults of the previous translation.

Note d'hiver sur impression d'été

Accused of political subversion as a young man, Fyodor Dostoyevsky was sentenced to four years of hard labor at a Siberian prison camp — a horrifying experience from which he developed this astounding semi-autobiographical memoir of a man condemned to ten years of servitude for murdering his wife.As with a number of the author's other works, this profoundly influential novel brilliantly explores his characters' thoughts while probing the depths of the human soul. Describing in relentless detail the physical and mental suffering of the convicts, Dostoyevsky's character never loses faith in human qualities and the goodness of man.A haunting and remarkable work filled with wonder and resignation, The House of the Dead ranks among the Russian novelist's greatest masterpieces. Of this powerful autobiographical novel, Tolstoy wrote, "I know no better book in all modern literature."

Les Annales de Pétersbourg

This carefully crafted ebook: "Demons (The Possessed / The Devils) - The Unabridged Garnett Translation" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
An extremely political book, Demons is a testimonial of life in Imperial Russia in the late 19th century.
As the revolutionary democrats begin to rise in Russia, different ideologies begin to collide. Dostoyevsky casts a critical eye on both the liberal idealists, portraying their ideas and ideological foundation as demonic, and the conservative establishment's ineptitude in dealing with those ideas and their social consequences.
This form of intellectual conservativism tied to the Slavophile movement of Dostoyevsky's day, called Pochvennichestvo, is seen to have continued on into its modern manifestation in individuals like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Dostoyevsky's novels focus on the idea that utopias and positivist ideas, in being utilitarian, were unrealistic and unobtainable.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky ( 1821 - 1881) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist and philosopher. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the context of the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of 19th-century Russia. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.

Demons (The Possessed / The Devils) - The Unabridged Garnett Translation

Polzounkov - qui met en scène un bouffon revendicateur et ridicule - s'inscrit dans une vaste entreprise de retraduction de l'intégrale de Dostoïevski. Tel qu'on le lisait jusqu'ici en traduction, Dostoïevski paraissait avoir écrit comme un romancier français du XIXème siècle. "Les traducteurs, écrit André Markowicz, ont toujours amélioré son texte, ont toujours voulu le ramener vers une norme française. C'était, je crois, un contresens, peut-être indispensable dans un premier temps pour faire accepter un auteur, mais inutile aujourd'hui, s'agissant d'un écrivain qui fait de la haine de l'élégance une doctrine de renaissance du peuple russe." Le pari d'André Markowicz et de Babel est donc de restituer au romancier russe, dans cette intégrale, sa véritable voix, celle d'un possédé dont la langue est à l'image de sa démesure et de sa passion.
