Famous authors talking about Dostoevsky

Dear goodness. Hello, tears. Truly love of the most exquisite kind.

Definitely my favorite chapter of my favorite novel.

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart.”

— Fyodor Dostoevsky, “Crime and Punishment”

Darkling I listen; and, for many a time

         I have been half in love with easeful Death,

Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,

         To take into the air my quiet breath;

                Now more than ever seems it rich to die,

         To cease upon the midnight with no pain,

                While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad

                        In such an ecstasy!

         Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain—

                   To thy high requiem become a sod.

-Ode to a Nightingale, John Keats

@cuddlesforerik Thank you for tagging me!

Yay, this one is about BOOKS. Let’s see…

1. Currently finishing up The Count of Monte Cristo. (Took nine hundred pages for the story to actually start, but dear goodness, it’s so good.)

2. Next will be The Gentle Spirit by Fyodor Dostoevsky (my favorite author to ever exist). This is one of the few stories of his I haven’t read yet, so I’m very excited and have been preparing my soul to be crushed once more.

3. Les Misérables is a must. Finished Notre-Dame de Paris a while back, and I’m in love with his writing style. Truly a master at his art.

4. Bleak House by Dickens. Because nothing that man writes is bad.

5. The Turn of the Screw. A recommendation from my sister, so we’ll see.

6. And finally, Fear and Trembling by Kierkegaard. I started it a while ago, but I was too busy to give it the attention it deserves (30 pages in and could already tell it was a masterpiece), so I’m going to start from the beginning now that I have more time to absorb it properly.
