Zweig.Dostoevskyism

Zweig's "Three Masters" - Balzac, Dickens, and Dostoevsky, their characteristics as seen by comparison

The book's author, Stefan Zweig, was born in Vienna in 1881 and is best known as a world-renowned biographer, having written international bestsellers such as "Marie Antoinette" and "Balzac.

Why is Dostoevsky so difficult and what makes Dostoevsky's literature so unique?"

Zweig highlights this through comparisons with Balzac and Dickens.

It is really easy to understand when you compare the two. You are indeed one of the best biographers in the world. It was truly an eye-opener.

Bakhtin, "Dostoevsky's Poetics" - Polyphony theory began here.

Dostoevsky's Poetics" is also considered a classic in the study of Dostoevsky, as is "The Philosophy of Tragedy" by Shestov, which was introduced in the previous issue.

The book is unique in that it defines Dostoevsky's works as polyphonic novels.

When reading recent books on Dostoevsky, most of them contain the commentary, "Dostoevsky's novels are polyphonic...".

The origins of these well-known concepts can be found in this book
Shestov.Dostoevskyism

Shestov, "The Philosophy of Tragedy: Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche" - A Classic of Dostoyevsky's Thought with a Focus on "The Memoirs in the Basement

It is said that the influence of Shestov's ideas has been particularly important in the study of Dostoevsky's thought, as his "Memoirs in the Basement" has become particularly important in the study of Dostoevsky's thought. For this reason, Shestov's "The Philosophy of Tragedy: Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche" is highly regarded as a classic in the study of Dostoyevsky.

Read in conjunction with "Memoirs in the Basement," this work is a useful study of Dostoevsky's thought.

Fudeli, "Dostoevsky's Legacy" - Dostoevskyism of the soul by a Christian persecuted in the Soviet era.

Fudeli's "The Dostoevskii Legacy" was the book that opened my eyes.

The content is easy to read and discusses Dostoevsky's works along his life like a biography. It is also very thorough and easy to understand in terms of deepening one's understanding of the works.

This is the best book to learn about Dostoevsky's image as a Russian Orthodox religious figure.

I highly recommend this book.
Mori, YushoDostoevskyism

Arimasa Mori, "Dostoevsky Memorandum" - A masterpiece of Dostoevsky theory by one of Japan's leading French writers.

The author, Arimasa Mori, born in 1911, is one of Japan's leading scholars of French literature.

Arimasa Mori describes in this book his thoughts on Dostoevsky that come from himself.

It is a confrontation with Dostoevsky, not simply for the sake of knowledge or study, but as a real-life problem that Arimasa Mori faces in his own life.

This book is a tough introduction to Dostoevsky for those who want to know the synopsis and commentary of his works, but it is a great book for those who want to think about Dostoevsky in more depth.
The Life of DostoevskyDostoevskyism

Kobayashi Hideo, "The Life of Dostoevsky" - A stimulating discussion of Dostoevsky by one of Japan's leading critics!

The characteristic feature of this review is that it discusses Dostoevsky with Kobayashi Hideo's unique sensibility while referring to the biography of E. H. Carr's "Dostoevsky.

The magic of Kobayashi Hideo's writing, or perhaps I should say the magic of his words, is that his words have an enigmatic power to shake people's emotions, even though they are not well understood. It is no wonder that he was a great favorite among the literary youth of Japan. I could feel from this book why he is called the "God of Criticism.

Motylski, "Critique Dostoevsky" - The gold standard of Dostoevsky critiques with an overwhelming amount of information!

Dostoevsky: A Critical Biography" was published in Russian in 1947 and was quickly translated into many languages and called "the best study of Dostoevsky's writings in any language.

The most important feature of this review is the detailed commentary on the work by Moturisky, an expert on Russian Orthodox doctrine and practice.

I highly recommend this critique as a terrific way to study Dostoevsky.
Anna's Diarybiography of Dostoevsky

Dostoevskaya, "Diary of Mrs. Dostoevsky, Anna" - A first-class source of information about Dostoevsky's miserable life due to his gambling addiction.

This diary describes Dostoevsky's madness to the hilt.

Dostoevsky is a gambling maniac who gambles all his money and loses, and eventually pawns his wedding ring and runs off to the gambling hall.

In her diary, Mrs. Anna's sadness, frustration, and resentment at seeing off such a husband are recorded along with her tears. Dostoevsky at this time is truly the ultimate bad person.

It can no longer be described as spectacular. It is far more dramatic and shocking than reading an ordinary novel.
