"Collected Works of Dostoevsky: Ghost" is a novel written by the great Russian writer Dostoevsky in the 19th century. The work takes the murder case of the Russian anarchist Nechayev in 1871 as the subject. It denigrates and attacks the progressive youth and revolutionary movement at that time. It also exposes and criticizes the Russian upper-level bureaucrats and aristocratic bourgeoisie. Pyotr Stepanovich, based on Nechaev, is a shameless and conscientious conspirator, a political liar who "made his fortune through the revolution". He controls the secret organization "Group of Five" and instructs its members to cause trouble in fund-raising activities organized by the governor's wife. , Also used the excuse that Shatov, a college student, was suspected of being a whistleblower, and used malicious incitement, deception, and intimidation to force members of the team to assassinate Shatov. Afterwards, he induced the atheist Kirov to admit everything, write a suicide note, and shoot himself. However, he himself escaped. In addition, the author also describes another "ghost" Nicholas Tavrogin, a playboy who has no moral code, is shameless, and specializes in playing with women's emotions, as well as the father and nurturer of these two "ghosts" - a vilified representative of liberal Western Europeans.
Reader comments
The characters in this book are so complex! For example, Pyotr Stepanovich, he is a bad guy, he deceives others into doing bad things, it is really abominable! This reminds me of some liars in life. We must be careful not to be deceived by them. There is also Nicholas. Although he is a nobleman, he has no moral code. This also reminds us that we should not only look at a person's identity, but also his character. However, the stories in the book also made me understand that we should change our lives through our own efforts instead of taking the wrong path.
