The human being in Dostoevsky's literature, author: Nikolai Berdyaev

This book includes three works by Berdyev about the literature of Dostoevsky, namely "Suggestions about Man in Dostoevsky's Literature," his article about the character of "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 discusses 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 affirms, was not concerned with nature or historical artifacts, but his primary concern was man, and the way he spends his life, and his thoughts and feelings. He considers that nothing attracts attention in Dostoevsky's novels except man, and human relationships. His heroes are only preoccupied with visiting each other, and talking about the tragic fate of all humanity. Number of pages: 124
