Wait a sec...
Fuck the five stars!
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
It actually hurts to give it only five. Need I say that this book must be considered one of the wonders of mankind? Would it be necessary to talk about Dostoyevsky's extraordinary ability to create such interesting and realistic characters, or the fact that he was a master of the human psyche? This, of course, is an understatement. Check Ivan Karamazov's encounter with the devil if you don't believe me. In fact, the whole novel is a unique proof of this statement. From the first, introductory pages to the redemptive finale, this novel is a pure masterpiece. I honestly think that books like The Brothers Karamazov defined literature the way bands like The Beatles defined music.
Enough said.

Εντάξει είναι μαγεία. Το πιο θαυμαστό είναι ότι με τη συγκεκριμένη θεματολογία (τοοοοοοσες σελίδες που αφιερώνει στους μοναχούς), αν δεν ήταν Ντοστογιέφσκι θα είχα εκνευριστεί. Αλλά ο τύπος έχει τρομερή επίδραση πάνω μου. Δεν ξέρω πώς το κάνει.
Περισσότερο δε θα μπορούσα να συμφωνήσω. Είναι τεράστιος
Οταν διαβασα το "Εγκλημα και τιμωρια" εμεινα με το στομα ανοιχτο. Ο ανθρωπος κεντουσε με την πενα του. Θα διαβασω καποια στιγμη και το συγκεκριμενο
Μου εχεις ανοιξει την ορεξη μιστερ !!
μην χανεις χρόνο "The Girl" :) και προτείνω την μετάφραση του Αλεξάνδρου..
Chris_P ξαναδιάβασε το απο την συγκεκριμένη μετάφραση τώρα :p
Αιστούγημα Συμφωνώ με τον Φίλιπ οτι η μετάφραση Του Άρη Αλεξανδρου είναι must αν και ο Ίνδικτος έκανε προσεγμένη δουλειά
Παιδιά πραγματικά δηλώνω συγκλονισμένος. Jim και The Girl διαβάστε το... χθες! Φίλιπ λες να κάνω αυτή τη ταρζανιά; Να το πάρω ξανά απ' την αρχή; Πάντως όντως ο ίνδικτος έκανε τρομερή δουλειά. Πολλές διαφωτιστικές σημειώσεις, φωτογραφίες κλπ. Και φυσικά η μετάφραση νομίζω πως ήταν εξαιρετική.
Προτιμώ και εγώ μετάφραση Ελένης Μπακοπούλου από Ίνδικτο. Πιο φρέσκια

Λίστα !!
Όχι, Ελένη, βιβλία σαν αυτό δεν μπαίνουν σε λίστες. Απλά διάβασέ το και θα καταλάβεις ότι είναι άλλη εμπειρία...

Ok. Άμεση προτεραιότητα.
I've never read this nor any Dostoevsky to be honest but i highly revere the man and his works by hearing what other people have to say about him and reading analysis of his works. I know about the grand inquisitor section of brothers karamazov.
Hi Zaki, thanks for commenting. Well, I firmly believe he was one of the greatest writers Earth has ever given birth to. I suggest you give him a chance and I'm sure you will come to this conclusion as well.
I think you're right. I'm going to start with Notes from the Underground. As for the heftier tomes he's written, I have a very short attention span Chris.
I think Notes from the Underground is an excellent choice. One of my favourites. It's true that a short attention span can be a problem when reading his "Big Ones", as his works need all the attention one can give them. Don't be discouraged though. Start with his short ones, like the Underground (The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is even shorter but great) and you never know. Maybe you'll find yourself so hooked to his writing that your attention span won't be a problem.That wouldn't surprise me, actually.
thanks for the advice pal. I have read Crime and Punishment in a graphic novel version and my curiosity of this writer was piqued. I like the idea of the Notes from the Underground because it's in the Underground where I dwell, sadly.
Well, in this case I think you'll love it. It's the Holy Bible of all the underground dwellers and the misfits of the world. Dostoevsky always dealt with such characters. And he painted them with the most detail. Crime and Punishment changed something in me the first time I read it. I think you should try the original, too. In fact, I think you should read them all! Don't mention it mate.
