adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. excellent translation. ( )I have already stated in a previous review that I love Dostoevsky, so keep that in mind. This novel, although though provoking and philosophically sound, is at times in desperate need of an editor. It seems like the more verbose version of Poe's Telltale Heart. This is a beautiful book that looks into the state of the human condition and examines a typically russian character and his moral shortcomings. I have always enjoyed the russian authors worldview and find they show beauty in the difficult aspects of life and survival against a backdrop of harsh environment and endemic poverty. It is the character development that is particularly fascinating and the reader finds themselves in a state of empathy with a morally dubious protagonist. If you enjoy pondering the grey areas of life and the thorny end of society and morality, this book covers it extremely well I had a really hard time getting through this book. It just didn't get to me. I know this sounds crass, but when I tell people my opinion, I say, "It was too Russian." I have to agree that this is the greatest novel ever written. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
