FYODOR MIKHAILOVICH DOSTOEVSKY's life was as dark and dramatic as the great novels he wrote. He was born in Moscow in 1821, the son of a former army surgeon whose drunken brutality led his own serfs to mur-der him by pouring vodka down his throat until he stran-gled. A short first novel, Poor Folk (1846), brought himinstant success, but his writing career was cut short by hisarrest for alleged subversion against Tsar Nicholas I in1849. In prison he was given the "silent treatment" foreight months (guards even wore velvet-soled boots) beforehe was led in front of a firing squad. Dressed in a deathshroud, he faced an open grave and awaited his executionwhen, suddenly, an order arrived commuting his sentence.He then spent four years at hard labor in a Siberian prison,where he began to suffer from epilepsy, and he only re-turned to St. Petersburg a full ten years after he had left inchains.
His prison experiences coupled with his conversion to aconservative and profoundly religious philosophy formedthe basis for his great novels. But it was his fortuitous mar-riage to Anna Snitldna, following a period of utter destitu-
tion brought about by his compulsive gambling, that gaveDostoevsky the emotional stability to complete Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1868-69), The Possessed (1871-72), and The Brothers Karamazov (1879-80).When Dostoevsky died in 1881, he left a legacy of master-works that influenced the great thinkers and writers of the Western world and immortalized him as a giant among writers of world literature.
内容简介
"I am a sick man . . . I am a spiteful man," the irascible voice of a nameless narrator cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the brutal self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn and iconoclasm of alienated individual who has become one of the greatest antiheroes in all literature. Notes From Underground, published in 1864, marks a tuming point in Dostoevsky's writing: it announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on a monumental scale in Crime And Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. And it remains to this day one of the most searingly honest and universal testaments to human despair ever penned.
“The political cataclysms and cultural revolutions of our century…confirm the status of Notes from Underground as one of the most sheerly astonishing and subversive creations of European fiction.”
