Mr. and Mrs. Dostoevsky also stayed in Italy for an extended period of time. However, I have always wondered why Dostoevsky did not go to Rome. Why didn't Dostoevsky go to Rome?

It is strange if you think about it, coming all the way to Italy and not going to Rome.

I found this book to be full of very interesting information about the country of Italy. I highly recommend this book.

The task of the literary writer is not to give answers, but to ask questions," said Lukács. He cited Dostoevsky as one of the most successful in this regard.

But that is also Dostoevsky's greatest appeal.

As mentioned in the translator's afterword, there may be some problems with the work, but I think that what is being discussed in this work provides a good opportunity to look at Dostoevsky from a different point of view.

In this program, Dr. Saisu, a Dostoevsky scholar, and Yoko Ueda will discuss the topic "Does Dostoevsky Support War?

At the beginning of the program, we will first look at how Dostoevsky is quoted in Russia, based on the various documents introduced by Professor Saisu. It was especially interesting to see in what context President Putin quotes Dostoevsky and what his intentions are in doing so.

It was very easy to understand what kind of national outlook President Putin has and what kind of theories he uses to criticize the West. And to hear it intertwined with Dostoevsky was also a great pleasure for me.
