Fydor Dostoyevsky

"I am a sick man... I am a spiteful man." -Notes from the Underground, Dostoyevski The following is a work of fiction, which includes a miserable mc and his cute childhood friend who abandoned her dreams because of him.

La primera novela de Dostoyevski, una espléndida historia de amor llena de patetismo que anuncia todos los temas de su obra posterior. Dostoyevski nos ofrece un soberbio retrato de la vida de la gente humilde de la capital rusa a través de la correspondencia entre el modesto funcionario Makar Alekséievich Dévushkin, ya entrado en años, y su pariente lejana Varvara Alekséievna Dobroselova, una joven huérfana a la que protege y por la que siente un amor presuntamente paternal. Siendo vecinos, apenas se ven para evitar habladurías, por lo que se comunican casi diariamente a través de cartas.

Anna Karenina is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, published in serial installments from 1875 to 1877 in the periodical The Russian Messenger. Tolstoy clashed with editor Mikhail Katkov over political issues that arose in the final installment (Tolstoy's negative views of Russian volunteers going to fight in Serbia); therefore, the novel's first complete appearance was in book form in 1878. Widely regarded as a pinnacle in realist fiction, Anna Karenina recounts St. Petersburg aristocrat Anna Karenina's life story at the backdrop of the late-19th-century feudal Russian society. Having considered War and Peace not a novel, Tolstoy considered Anna Karenina his first true novel. Fyodor Dostoyevsky declared it "flawless as a work of art." His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired "the flawless magic of Tolstoy's style," and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as "the best ever written." The novel remains popular, as demonstrated by a 2007 poll of 125 contemporary authors in Time, which declared that Anna Karenina is the "greatest book ever written."
