DOSTOIEVSKI (Fédor)
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. His literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880).
Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as multiple of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces. His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature. As such, he is also looked upon as a philosopher and theologian as well.
(Russian: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский) (see also Fiodor Dostoïevski)
“Aliás, nessa noite não conseguia pensar longa e fixamente em nada, concentrar o pensamento em coisa alguma, tampouco conseguiria resolver, então, conscientemente, o que quer que fosse; a única coisa que fazia era sentir. Em vez da dialética surgia a vida, e na sua consciência devia se elaborar algo totalmente distinto.”
