A Superb Early Story

How incredible an early story by the great Dostoevsky!

If you’re interested in clues of where Dostoevsky is headed in his first produced writings, you’ll enjoy mining the techniques, strategies, uses of vocabulary here. Or if you’re simply interested in a superb short story, you’ll be much pleased with this effort.

The narration is excellent as well.

Narrator Issue

I wish the voices of the characters were more clearly different. Sometimes it became hard to decipher who was who.

Absolute soul crusher

Written exquisitely and delivered exceptionally. Been wanting to check out Dostoevsky for a while and this is a great starting point. Short and sweet.

Excellent

I hate romances, but not this one. It was written so well. I of course like Notes from the Underground a lot better. But this is a pretty good story.

sentimental and melancholic

i found this book pretty much ok until the twist at the end im still trying to recover from it. narration was nothing short of perfect 😭😭😭
