The human in Dostoevsky's literature | Nikolai Berdyaev

This book includes three works by Berdyev about Dostoevsky's literature, which are "Suggestions about Man in Dostoevsky's Literature," his essay about the character "Stavrogin," and finally his study of "The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor," which is an extension of his book "Dostoevsky's View of the World." The first chapter of the book talks about the fate of man, and about good, evil, freedom, and love in Dostoevsky's works. The author tries to support the idea that Dostoevsky is a thinker, not a creator. Dostoevsky, as Berdyev emphasizes, was not interested in nature or historical monuments, but his primary concern was man, and the way he spends his life, and his ideas and feelings. He considers that nothing attracts attention in Dostoevsky's novels except for man and human relationships. His heroes are only preoccupied with visiting each other and talking about the tragic destiny of all humanity.
