Smelly Souls


What a delicious witty tale 👍
Is this the Dostoyevsky we all know?!... The one from Crime and Punishment?!... Or a shrewdly disguised Gogol?! 😉
It seems to me that our usually so dramatic Fyodor is sounding much more like the sarcastic Nicolai in this one! ...

Bobok is somewhere between a cartoon and a classical short story. Dostoyevsky makes fun of the russian society, comparing it with a bunch of smelly souls! 🤪

I always thought of humour and Dostoyevsky as oil and water, but... literature is full of pleasant surprises and Bobok, joshing Bobok, is definitely one of those!

Almas que Fedem


Delicioso, este Bobok 👍

Uma caricatura surreal e divertida da sociedade russa, retratada como um grupo de Almas Fedorentas! 😉

Sempre imaginei que Dostoyevsky e humor fossem tipo azeite e água!
Foi uma surpresa daquelas!!!🥰

David A bilingual review and a book I don't know but sounds like fun!


message 9: by Maria (new) - added it

Maria Espadinha It's a very short story, David!
And yes, it's funny :)
It's quite inspired in Gogol style, I think?!
