À propos de cet audio

 After narrowly avoiding a firing squad when he was just twenty-eight years old, Dostoevsky never took things lightly. His great novels burst upon the European literary scene like a succession of thunderbolts. His understanding of the darker and more extreme recesses of the human mind cast a forceful light into these areas of experience. The raw psychology and passionate involvement of his books galvanized writers and thinkers as disparate as Nietzsche and Kafka.

In Dostoevsky in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Dostoevsky's life and ideas and explains their influence on literature and on man's struggle to understand his place in the world. The book also includes selections from Dostoevsky's writings, a list of his chief works in English translation, a chronology of Dostoevsky's life and times, and recommended reading for those who wish to delve deeper.

An very informative compliment to my recent reading of The Brothers Karamazov. Provides Biography, major life events and a comparison to his contemporaries. Reinforced by readings from his writings. Dostoyevsky's abandoned zealous writing of the human condition gained clarity.

Very Worthwhile

I was interested in Dostoevsky’s works through my friend’s recommendation. She also told me that some understanding of his life and the time he lived in would help with understanding his novels. This 90 minute review was great for providing that background.
