Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky

 

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, sometimes transliterated as Dostoyevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist and journalist.

Bio:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyodor_Dostoevsky

The Double (2013)

A clerk in a government agency finds his unenviable life takes a turn for the horrific with the arrival of a new co-worker who is both his exact physical double and his opposite - confident, charismatic and seductive with women.

A quite liberal retelling of Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic in a steampunk-like world, dark, surreal and spiced with black humor; reminiscent of both Brazil and Le locataire.

New Stuff: The Double

I recently finished reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, so I am looking forward to see this recent adaptation.

First Lines: Fyodor Dostoevsky - Crime and Punishment

At the beginning of July, during a spell of exceptionally hot weather, towards evening, a certain young man came down on to the street from the little room he rented from some tenants in S- and slwoly, almost hesitantly, set off towards K--n Bridge.

New Stuff: Crime and Punishment

A TV adaptaion of one of my most favourite novels!

First Lines: Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Idiot

At around nine in the morning towards the end of a thawing November, the Warsaw train was approaching Petersburg at full steam.

First Lines: Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Notes from Underground

(ph: Alinari Brothers)

I am a sick man . . . I am a spiteful man.

First Lines: Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov

Alexey Fyodorovitch Karamozov was the third son of Fyodor Pavlovitch Karamazov, a landowner well known in our district in his own day, and still remembered among us owing to his gloomy and tragic death, which happened thirteen years ago, and which I shall describe in its proper place.
