El idiota, 1 (El Libro De Bolsillo / the Pocket Book) (Spanish Edition) (alkuperäinen julkaisuvuosi 1868; vuoden 2004 painos)

first dostoyevsky for me and while it was a very long and arduous reading, i quite enjoyed it. ( )

I don't know how anyone could like anyone else in this. ( )

PB-2

What an incredible book. This work surely and firmly solidifies Dostoevsky as one of the seminal authors of the 19th century. I'm talking Mona Lisa quality here. Pyramids of Giza. Beethoven's ninth symphony.

Even more than [b:The Brothers Karamazov|4934|The Brothers Karamazov|Fyodor Dostoyevsky|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1427728126s/4934.jpg|3393910], The Idiot is such an incredibly intense piece of work that you actually start to care for the fictional characters. Every time I had to close the book, I felt something akin to abandonment of poor Prince Myshkin. If you ask me, the undertaking of describing the 'wholly virtuous man' succeeded brilliantly.

Apart from all above, The Idiot is also simply an interesting story, well written and incredibly intensive, with unforgettable characters like Natasya Filippovna, Rogozhin, Ippolit, Lizaveta Prokofyevna, Aglaya, Lebedev, ... The final scene of the first part will be with me forever. The pages running up to Myshkin's epileptic fit in the second part left me nearly ecstatic. The final chapters contain the most beautiful ending of a story ever imagined.

I also want to to throw in a big compliment to the translator of my edition, [a:Ignat Avsey|572495|Ignat Avsey|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]. This was an incredible translation, if you ask my layman's opinion (I don't read or understand the original Russian at all). ( )

Ky është romani në të cilin mishërohen në trajtën më të plotë parimet krijuese të Dostojevskit dhe ku zotërimi i çuditshëm i subjektit arrin lulëzimin e vërtetë. Në të rrëfehet historia e qartë dhe tejet e dhimbshme e princit fatkeq Mishkin, e Rogozhinit të tërbuar dhe e Nastasia Filipovnës së trishtuar.
