The only Dosto novel I couldn't finish. By the time Myshkin has his seizure and wakes up at some dude's villa I realised that I've got no idea which ivan ivanovich ivanov is which and I have zero interest in this retarded marriage drama. Myshkin is also a hugely unlikeable dipshit, I get that he's supposed to represent a godly man with unclouded, clear morals, but he just comes off as a cunt who makes lives of people around him worse while wearing a dumb smile.

the best part is in the end bear with it also aglaia a best

>>18736064
Imagine posting a strawman this pathetic

Anon, take it from me, you're fucking retarded.

>>18736886
I've never actually read this; is it good? How doomer-core is it? I'm in a 'oh god please let me kill myself already' mood of late.

>>18736064
>Implying it happened exactly like the underground man wants you to believe it did because he was the one writing about it after all
Ngmi, Dosto has you by the balls

>>18736992
it was literally banned in Denmark and Italy due to inspiring suicidal behaviour in young men.

>>18737325
Wew neat. Guess I'll try it; thanks anon, if all goes well I'll be dead in the month.

>>18737517
Most people who cannot relate to the struggles of the protagonist find him unbearably whiny and annoying.

>>18737537
You always get that with whinging emo protagonists; tough guys need to show everyone how macho they are by belittling other's existential struggles, even whilst they themselves are incapable of going grocery shopping.

anyone read demons? camus shilled it in his book s but I don't really trust him is it any good?

Wow he’s literally me

>>18737914
I’ve been reading it for months now it’s super slow, hard to get into. There are exciting moments but it’s drawn out. I’m in the last third now so hopefully it will pick up

>>18736886
Why do women give this such a bad rating on Goodreads?

>>18738097
women will never understand

>>18736250
wrong, traders daughter is the best

>>18737914
it is good. Though one character almost made me kill myself so be careful. It can be a bit slow, but it starts rolling and I would say it is one of Dostos best.

>>18734571
Wow he's literally me

>>18738307
>traders daughter
literally who

>>18738325
I had to go and check my book. No idea why I thought he was a trader. It is the daughter of the oldest guy the MC meets on the train in the start of the book. Her name is Vera Lukyanova Lebedeva.

>>18738363
still no idea who that is I only read like half of crime and the idiot

>>18734571
Gay as fuck.

>Camus first read Dostoyevsky when he was 20 years old, and later called it a “soul-shaking experience.” He was moved by the moral weight of Dostoyevsky’s words. When the horrors of Stalin’s purges came to light, Camus refused to look away. As he later said, “The real 19th century prophet was Dostoyevsky, not Karl Marx.”

And Camus was right. Dosto literally predicted what would happen.

>>18739598
what book did he predict that?

>>18739958
Demons

>>18739970
Demons predicted what would happen.
Notes predicted why.
Dosto had the fucking shit down to a motherfucking T.

She’s literally me

>>18739970
>>18739986
thanks guys, that's the only book i haven't read from him, gotta buy one after the covid ended

>>18734571
While we are at it, can anyone remind me why Raskolnikov
does it?

>>18740042
Thanks for this post, anon. I read the first few pages and it's good so far.

>>18736064
Has anyone actually read this book or am i misrembering it? Didn't she just go to him for help not fall in love with him? It's really not that difficult of a book im not sure how you can misunderstand it.

>>18740533
You’re probably just really smart

>>18734716
its heavily implied after the prostitute chick sees him not even able to command his own servant. The scene isn't described but the end of it is, she is crying on the floor slumped up against the bed. He certainly didn't do anything chill to her.

>>18740563
I don't know if you're being sarcastic but like a third of the book was about him convincing this prostitute that she should leave, offering his help, and then being too much of a horrible person to follow through. You cant really miss that unless your IQ is less than 90

>>18740575
ummmm she’s crying because he broke her heart bro

>>18736064
Bro I think you might be retarded.

>>18734571
I’m couldn’t finish it last time I read it. Should I try again?

>>18737914
I found it really slow but once things get rolling they REALLY get rolling. Absolutely brutal.

>>18740719
nah dude don’t worry about it
