Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский (Russian)

Works, such as the novels Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), of Russian writer Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky or Dostoevski combine religious mysticism with profound psychological insight.

Very influential writings of Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin included Problems of Dostoyevsky's Works (1929),

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky composed short stories, essays, and journals. His literature explores humans in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century and engages with a variety of philosophies and themes. People most acclaimed his Demons(1872) .

Many literary critics rate him among the greatest authors of world literature and consider multiple books written by him to be highly influential masterpieces. They consider his Notes from Underground of the first existentialist literature. He is also well regarded as a philosopher and theologian.

End of part 1, interested in narrators unique pov on society (contrasting agaist literature of that time, rationalsm = utopia). Wondered why he kept contradicting himself. Wondered what he experienced in life to make him think that way. End of part 2, i think this guy is a loser tbh. i feel that he suffers from main character syndrome and that his disconnect from society is self-induced. he would rather live in his own dreams than in society.

I was impressed by this collection. It includes all the hits. 'Crocodile' is a surprise favorite for me.
I didn't know Dostoyevsky was such an accomplished short story writer as well as a novelist. Highly recommended.
