About This Novel
"Crime and Punishment" is one of the representative works of the 19th-century Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. The work focuses on the protagonist's mental state of being condemned by his conscience and feeling deeply lonely and fearful after committing the crime. It depicts his psychological changes before and after the crime, and reveals the difficult life of the lower class people in Russia. "The Idiot" is one of Dostoevsky's best works. The plot of this book is tense, tortuous, and has climaxes that are exciting. In particular, the psychological description in it deeply analyzes the multi-facetedness and complexity of human beings, and has a strong artistic appeal. "Demons" is a very controversial work by the great Russian writer Dostoevsky. The work created a portrait of the old liberal intellectuals in the 1840s and the radical youth in the early 1970s. In this world full of evil, there is always some sense of goodness, and a faint light shines brightly or covertly in everyone. "The Brothers Karamazov" is one of Dostoevsky's masterpieces. The novel uses a real patricide case to describe the sharp conflict between the old Karamazov and his three sons, that is, two generations. "The Insulted and Injured" was serialized in issues 1 to 7 of The Times in 1861. Because it is a long series, in order to attract readers, the plot of the novel must be fascinating, with ups and downs, climax after another, and it must be interrupted suddenly when it reaches the climax, so that people can continue to read the next issue. Therefore, this type of novel was called "essay-style novel" at that time, and it was famous for its tense and tortuous plot. This book is the first important work Dostoevsky completed after returning to Petersburg from exile. The novel describes the tragedy of two families caused by the bourgeois adventurer Valkovsky. "Youth" is Dostoevsky's masterpiece that integrates social novels, suspense novels, psychological novels and other types of novels with educational novels. "Notes from the Underground" is a collection of Dostoevsky's novellas, which selects five of Dostoevsky's representative novellas: "The Poor Man", "White Nights", "The Resident of Stepanchikovo", "Notes from the Underground" and "The Crocodile".
