  • 作者通过一个家族的悲欢离合对人性进行了淋漓尽致的挖掘。

    James Joyce noted that [Leo] Tolstoy admired him but he thought that he had little artistic accomplishment or mind. Yet, as he said, 'he admired his heart', a criticism which contains a great deal of truth, for though his characters do act extravagantly, madly, almost, still their basis is firm enough underneath... The Brothers Karamazov... made a deep impression on me... he created some unforgettable scenes [detail]... Madness you may call it, but therein may be the secret of his genius... I prefer the word exaltation, exaltation which can merge into madness, perhaps. In fact all great men have had that vein in them; it was the source of their greatness; the reasonable man achieves nothing.

  • 作者简介
  • 费奥多尔·米哈伊洛维奇·陀思妥耶夫斯基是19世纪群星灿烂的俄国文坛上一颗耀眼的明星,与列夫·托尔斯泰、屠格涅夫等人齐名,是俄国文学的卓越代表,他所走过的是一条极为艰辛、复杂的生活与创作道路,是俄国文学史上最复杂、最矛盾的作家之一。即如有人所说“托尔斯泰代表了俄罗斯文学的广度,陀思妥耶夫斯基则代表了俄罗斯文学的深度”。

    Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (11 November 1821-9 February 1881), sometimes transliterated Dostoevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the context of the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of 19th-century Russia. He began writing in his 20s, and his first novel, Poor Folk, was published in 1846 when he was 25. His major works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His output consists of eleven novels, three novellas, seventeen short novels and numerous other works. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature. His novella Notes From Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature.
