Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The Brothers Karamazov (Signet Classics)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Amazing

Crime and Punishment (Signet Classics)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Signet Classics, 2006

A Hard Read
This book is excellent but readers should take the time to read the Translator's Preface before jumping in. This will help to understand the names of the characters and other nuances that apply to a book translated from another language. The book is about redemption. ...

Crime and Punishment (Classic Collection (Blackstone Audio))

Blackstone Audio Inc., 2008

One of the greatest works of fiction ever written, Crime and Punishment is an intense psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, and a fascinating detective thriller instilled with philosophical, religious, and social commentary. Dostoevsky studies the psychological impact upon a desperate and impoverished student when he murders a ...

The Brothers Karamazov (Giant Thrifts)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Dover Publications, 2005

hard read, but worth it
This is a long and difficult book, but very interesting. It is an excellent book, but still not my favorite of Dostoyevsky's. This reads like a murder mystery, and there are also lots of philosophical and religious undertones. I would say that this is a good ...

One of the greatest novels ever written
Arguably one of the greatest novels ever written; challenging, brilliant, and a wonderful entry into early existential literature. This is a tale to read in your adolescence or early adulthood; do not be intimidated by its reputation, length or greatness; just enjoy.

Notes from Underground; The Double (Penguin Classics)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Penguin Classics, 1972

A few comments and an interesting fact
Dostoyevski's underground man character, although conceived in 1864, presages by more than 50 years the alienation and disaffection that became so widespread in the 20th century, especially in the so-called "lost generation" that grew up between the two world wars. As ...

Crime and Punishment (Enriched Classics)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Pocket, 2004

Crime and Punishment
I love stories about redemption and Crime and Punishment is one of the best. Very bleak but absolutely gripping, the tortured mind of the protagonist is superbly drawn. I've read this book several times. An absolute must read.

Notes From Underground

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Signet Classics, 2004

Read it in context for a better understanding...
Those who read this book should know that it was intended as a parody, a satirical and scathing attack on the prevailing trends in popular philosophy and literature in Russia (Saint Petersburg literary society) in the day (1860's), in which a hasty utilitarianism and ...

The Brothers Karamazov: Classic Collection

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008

Outstanding
I must admit that when I first began listening to this audiobook I did not care for the narrator's voice. After I made it to the second disk I began to more fully realize what a talented voice actor he actually was, and the remaining 28 disks or so were a great joy. ...

The House of the Dead (Dover Thrift Editions.)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Days of fear and hope
Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "The House of the Dead" is one of the most powerful narratives about life in prison. A quasi-autobiographical work, the writer used the days he spent in Siberia prison to create powerful moments of sadness, fear and hope. Not many were able to be ...

The Idiot (Dover Giant Thrift Editions)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Dover Publications, 2003

His Masterpiece!!!
If you haven't read the Idiot, you haven't read Dostoyevsky. If this were the only book he ever wrote, his place in the annals of literature would no doubt be as secured. Other books to read if you like The Idiot: Roman Payne's "Crepuscule" Maxim Gorky Gogol's ...

Poor Folk (Thrift Edition)
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Dover Publications, 2007

This novel brought its 24-year-old author critical and public acclaim nearly overnight. Written in the form of letters, it recounts a blossoming romance amid St. Petersburg's slums between a middle-aged writer and a much younger seamstress. Compact and easy to read, it represents an excellent introduction to Dostoyevsky's work.

The Idiot (Penguin Classics)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Penguin Classics, 2004

I LOVE Dostoevsky
If you love to read and you haven't read this yet, I don't know what the heck you're waiting for. This is one of my favorite books. Yes there are a lot of subplots and long monologs, but that is part of the beauty of it. At one point in the book he talks about a man ...
