Winner of the AATSEEL Outstanding Translation Award
This is the first paperback edition of the complete collection of writings that has been called Dostoevsky's boldest experiment with literary form; it is a uniquely encyclopedic forum of fictional and nonfictional genres. The Diary's radical format was matched by the extreme range of its contents. In a single frame it incorporated an astonishing variety of material: short stories; humorous sketches; reports on sensational crimes; historical predictions; portraits of famous people; autobiographical pieces; and plans for stories, some of which were never written while others appeared in the Diary itself.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
FYODOR MIKHAILOVICH DOSTOEVSKY (1821-1881) was a Russian writer of novels, short stories and essays. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Although Dostoyevsky began writing books in the mid-1850s, his best remembered work was done in his last years, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov. He wrote eleven novels, three novellas, seventeen short novels and three essays and is often acknowledged by critics as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. The essential entries from Dostoevsky's complete Diary, called his boldest experiment in literary form, are now available in this abridged edition; it is a uniquely encyclopedic forum of fictional and nonfictional genres. A Writer's Diary began as a column in a literary journal, but by 1876 Dostoevsky was able to bring it out as a complete monthly publication with himself as an editor, publisher, and sole contributor, suspending work on The Brothers Karamazov to do so. The Diary's radical format was matched by the extreme range of its contents. In a single frame it incorporated an astonishing variety of material: short stories; humorous sketches; reports on sensational crimes; historical predictions; portraits of famous people; autobiographical pieces; and plans for stories, some of which were never written while others appeared later in the Diary itself.

Paper Back. Etat : New. ''Man is mystery,'' Dostoevsky writes, ''The mystery must be solved, and even if you spend your whole life attempting to solve it, do not say you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man.'' Dostoevsky's immense and chaotic novels are his attempt to understand this mystery through his life, through writing. Remarkable in comparison to many other great Russian writers, he did not create caricatures of people and did not invent fanciful situations in order to apprehend truths, but sank himself deeply into his existence -- its perils and emotions, failures and successes, with a far greater sense of reality -- describing men and women as they are. He was engaging a real struggle between a real Christ and a real nihilism. The diaries are the place of his ruminations, where he connects the mind that is utterly free in the construction of the worlds of his fiction, to everyday occurrences, the lives of friends and family, fellow writers and artists, his emotions, and thousands of drafts of writing. Here is Dostoevsky in all his complexity, puzzling out, agonizing over what must be said, annotated by Kenneth Lantz. Volume 1 of 2, 334 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 15168
