Produktbeschreibung

"The Grand Inquisitor" is a poem (a story within a story) inside Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov (1879-1880). It is recited by Ivan Karamazov, who questions the possibility of a personal and benevolent God, to his brother Alexei (Alyosha), a novice monk. "The Grand Inquisitor" is an important part of the novel and one of the best-known passages in modern literature because of its ideas about human nature and freedom, and its fundamental ambiguity. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (11 November 1821 - 9 February 1881), sometimes transliterated Dostoyevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. Dostoevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). Dostoevsky's oeuvre consists of 11 novels, three novellas, 17 short stories and numerous other works. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature. His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature. ¿(Translation by H.P. Blavatsky) ¿¿¿¿¿¿

Autorenporträt

Russian author and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in Moscow on November 11, 1821. He is recognised as one of the finest novels of all time and is renowned for his deep psychological understanding and his exploration of moral and religious issues. Dostoevsky experienced hardship and sorrow in his early years, including the loss of his mother when he was a small child and his own eventual arrest and exile in Siberia due to his involvement in politics. His work, which often deals with themes of pain, redemption, and the human condition, was profoundly influenced by these events. The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, and Notes from Underground are just a few of Dostoevsky's best-known works. His works are renowned for their examination of existential and philosophical topics, sophisticated narratives, and colorful, multifaceted characters. The writings of Dostoevsky have had a significant impact on contemporary thought and literature. At the age of 59, Dostoevsky passed away in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 9, 1881. Even now, people commemorate and research his legacy.
