The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky and the Gentleman Murderer Who Inspired a Masterpiece de Kevin Birmingham

The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky and the Gentleman Murderer Who Inspired a Masterpiece

Autor Kevin Birmingham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 noi 2021
The Sinner and the Saint is the deeply researched and immersive tale of how Dostoevsky came to write this great murder story and why it changed the world. As a young man, Dostoevsky was condemned to a long Siberian exile. There, he spent years studying the criminals that were his companions. Upon his return to St. Petersburg in the 1860s, he fought his way through gambling addiction, debilitating debt, epilepsy, the deaths of those closest to him, and literary banishment to craft an enduring classic. The Sinner and the Saint is the definitive story of the triumph that is Crime and Punishment.

Recenzii

A page turner about turning pages,The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky and the Gentleman Murderer Who Inspired A Masterpiecenot only brings us back into the fevered panic of Raskolnikov as he murders an old woman, his motives a mystery even to his own sputtering mind, but also to real-life characters, most vividly a Parisian dandy (we might now call him 'gay'), whose nihilism and thrill killings set Dostoevsky's imagination ticking. Compulsively readable, tautly drawn, and richly researched, here is the brilliant study Dostoevsky and his staggeringCrime and Punishment-filled, we now find, with intimations of him-so deserves
Dostoevsky didn't have any choice about misery-the Siberian exile and the epilepsy, the despair and debts and the deaths of those he loved. All that just fell upon him, and none of us would want tobehim, not even for the sake of those books. But wanting to know what it wasliketo be him-well, that's different, and I can't imagine a better guide than Kevin Birmingham. Dostoevsky was both sinner and saint, and this wonderfully pungent book presents his extraordinary life in the most vivid detail imaginable. Birmingham puts you in the room when Raskolnikov brings down the axe; and he puts you there too when the novelist discovers the face of redemptive love.
WithThe Sinner and the Saint,Kevin Birmingham has scored a hat trick, delivering three biographies in one book-expertly chronicling the lives of the man who wroteCrime and Punishmentand the murderer who inspired the tale, and the fascinating evolution of the novel itself. Birmingham's ingenious braided narrative offers an inspired new reading to those who already know and love Dostoevsky's masterpiece, and serves as an indispensable guide for first time readers.
