Feodor Dostoievski
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)
“Nouă ne e penibil pînă şi să fim oameni, oameni cu trup şi sînge adevărat, propriu, ne e ruşine de asta, socotim acest lucru degradant şi tindem să fim habar n-am ce oameni — îndeobşte, ceva ce încă nu s-a pomenit. Sîntem născuţi morţi şi, de altminteri, de mult nu ne mai naştem din părinţi vii, lucru care ne place din ce în ce. Am prins gust. In curând vom născoci cumva şi naşterea nemijlocită din idee. ”
