Dostoyevsky's best book.

>> No.20892858

>>20892830
Probably not the most enjoyable for me, but definitely the most profound and relevant to modern times.

Great taste. The real question though is, what's the best translation of it?

The penguin cover is undoubtably the best, too.

It has a slow start but picks up from there.

why is everyone shilling crime and punishment? All the women characters are so badly written , like shadows of a true person.Except the dive into raskolnikov's mind i dont see what could one get out of the book.Demons is great , havent yet another of his

Definitely not. Probably the worst Dostoevsky I've read.

Yh it's my favorite as well; I have only found notes from the underground to be as good. I'm reading C&P atm and it feels so much lesser. Will The Idiot be similar?

Idiot is dogshit.

I'm trying to read it but I'm getting nothing out of it. I think I'll have to watch some lectures on it or something

It took me three attempts to read it, on my third attempt I really enjoyed it. Give it 300 pages

Second best after Crime and Punishment.
>>20892866
My version was Magarshak, which was pretty good in my opinion.
>>20893211
I'll take the bait. Dunya's strong-headedness makes her an enjoyable character; Sonya's quiet desperation too; Katerina Ivanovna shines in her delusions and her terminal illness.

The first half feels different from the second half. First part feels like a novel of social manners just hang in there and you will see what unfolds

I got filtered early. I'm an ADHD zoomer who's not really used to this many storylines going on at once. I expected it to focus on one protagonist

Gonna try again th
