Three brothers that find themselves involved into their father's murder. Mystery and drama evolve througout the novel as the author finds the beauty in his people, in Russian nation and those who are spiritually damaged.

Rowan Williams's comprehensive theological interpretation of Dostoyevsky is as fascinating as it is esoteric.
“in order to convince yourself that Dostoyevsky is a writer, must you ask to see his identification card? Why, take any five pages from any of his novels and you will see without any cards that you are dealing with a writer.” (gratuitous picture of Balthazar, who is no Behemoth!) #myvodkabromance #whenworldscollide #dostoyevsky #littenkitten
My annual Dostoyevsky reading. I tend to read one ever year and a half as it takes me about a year and a half to get through one! But this one should be pretty fast, being only 280 v.s 700 pages #dostoyevsky
This novella is so rich in yearning, longing, loneliness... and beautiful prose.

The third Dostoyevsky book I have read. The Idiot is about a prince who has epilepsy and because of this all the characters around him believe him to be an idiot. In reality he is the most wise and kindest of all the characters. Due to his kindness he becomes trapped in a hero complex that makes him want to "save" the "mad" and beautiful Nastasya Filippovna from insanity. 4/5?#dostoyevsky #theidiot #fiction
Myshkin is such a sweetheart I love him so much. #TheIdiot #Dostoyevsky #RussianLit
