The owner of the broken heart

The owner of the broken heart by the writer Dostoevsky – translated by Abdul Rahman Abdul Rahman Al-Khamisi from the translations of realistic novels and human drama. On December 23, 1849, in Saint Petersburg, the young “Dostoevsky” and a group of thinkers were sentenced to death by firing squad. And before the execution, which Dostoevsky had waited for four months, a decree from the Tsar was issued to pardon the group and replace the death sentence with hard labor in the Siberian ice. You can imagine that a writer of Dostoevsky’s size and talent was standing on the execution platform waiting for the bullet that would end his life, facing death and looking into its eyes, and he even waited for it for a long time—four months, followed by four years of hard labor in Siberian ice. And from the womb of suffering, despair, anticipation, and loss of hope in life, an unprecedented genius was born for a writer who was originally extremely talented. The final result was an authentic talent that history has not seen the like of. In this exquisite novel… we live the experience of a person reaching excessive happiness with the hero of the story, “Vasya,” a poor young man who finds his salvation in the eyes of his beloved, and she becomes the only hope shaping his upcoming days. But happiness also does not come without a price, and its cost is more precious than anything we can imagine… And from here, we listen to the true story after the points of strength and weakness begin to wrestle inside his innocent soul, reflecting Dostoevsky’s brilliance in creating a dramatic conflict from a simple dream to this extent—like the dream of falling in love and marrying with pure will.
