Read full description of the books:

Il tema del «sognatore romantico», dell'eroe solitario che – come l'«anima bella» schilleriana che vive nel regno dell'ideale e dell'utopia estetica più astratta – trascorre i suoi giorni immerso nella dimensione del sogno, in un paradiso di illusioni, malinconicamente sofferente e lontano dall'incolore e consueta realtà dell'esistenza quotidiana, percorre come un filo di Arianna questo racconto. In una notte bianca, crudelmente reale, passeggiando solitario l'eroe del racconto incontra sul lungofiume una ragazza che risveglia in lui il sentimento dell'amore – il simbolo della temuta vita reale –, e coraggiosamente egli decide di fuggire dal regno dei sogni e delle fantasticherie in cui trascorre i suoi giorni, aprendosi alla vita. Ma quando la ragazza gli rivela di amare un altro, la sua speranza svanisce, annullata dalla crudele vendetta del destino, ricacciata nella dimensione del sogno, a un tempo capace di dare felicità e sofferenza. Un regno delle illusioni che è anche metaforicamente simbolo del male.

Con un saggio di André Gide. Introduzione di Giovanna Spendel.

Read information about the author

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky (Russian: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский), sometimes transliterated Dostoevsky, was a Russian novelist, journalist, and short-story writer whose psychological penetration into the human soul had a profound influence on the 20th century novel.

Dostoyevsky was the second son of a former army doctor. He was educated at home and at a private school. Shortly after the death of his mother in 1837 he was sent to St. Petersburg, where he entered the Army Engineering College. Dostoyevsky's father died in 1839, most likely of apoplexy, but it was rumored that he was murdered by his own serfs. Dostoyevsky graduated as a military engineer, but resigned in 1844 to devote himself to writing. His first novel, Poor Folk appeared in 1846.

That year he joined a group of utopian socialists. He was arrested in 1849 and sentenced to death, commuted to imprisonment in Siberia. Dostoyevsky spent four years in hard labor and four years as a soldier in Semipalatinsk, a city in what it is today Kazakhstan.

Dostoyevsky returned to St. Petersburg in 1854 as a writer with a religious mission and published three works that derive in different ways from his Siberia experiences: The House of the Dead , (1860) a fictional account of prison life, The Insulted and Injured, which reflects the author's refutation of naive Utopianism in the face of evil, and Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, his account of a trip to Western Europe.

In 1857 Dostoyevsky married Maria Isaev, a 29-year old widow. He resigned from the army two years later. Between the years 1861 and 1863 he served as editor of the monthly periodical Time, which was later suppressed because of an article on the Polish uprising.

In 1864-65 his wife and brother died and he was burdened with debts. His situation was made even worse by his gambling addiction. From the turmoil of the 1860s emerged Notes from the Underground, a psychological study of an outsider, which marked a major advancement in Dostoyevsky's artistic development.

In 1867 Dostoyevsky married Anna Snitkin, his 22-year old stenographer. They traveled abroad and returned in 1871. By the time of The Brothers Karamazov (1879-80), Dostoyevsky was recognized in his own country as one of its great writers.
