Download or read book Funny Dostoevsky written by Lynn Ellen Patyk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tapping into the emergence of scholarly comedy studies since the 2000s, this collection brings new perspectives to bear on the Dostoevskian light side. Funny Dostoevksy demonstrates how and why Dostoevsky is one of the most humorous 19th-century authors, even as he plumbs the depths of the human psyche and the darkest facets of European modernity. The authors go beyond the more traditional categories of humor, such as satire, parody, and the carnivalesque, to apply unique lenses to their readings of Dostoevsky. These include cinematic slapstick and the body in Crime and Punishment, the affective turn and hilarious (and deadly) impatience in Demons, and ontological jokes in Notes from Underground and The Idiot. The authors – (coincidentally?) all women, including some of the most established scholars in the field alongside up-and-comers – address gender and the marginalization of comedy, culminating in a chapter on Dostoevsky's "funny and furious" women, and explore the intersections of gender and humor in literary and culture studies. Funny Dostoevksy applies some of the latest findings on humor and laughter to his writing, while comparative chapters bring Dostoevsky's humor into conjunction with other popular works, such as Chaplin's Modern Times and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. Written with a verve and wit that Dostoevsky would appreciate, this boldly original volume illuminates how humor and comedy in his works operate as vehicles of deconstruction, pleasure, play, and transcendence.

Download or read book Polzunkov written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though he is best known for his realist and deep realistic and psychological novels, Dostoevsky’s literary life produced memorable short stories as well. "Polzunkov" is a story that should not be skipped by the author’s fans and the connoisseurs of short story writing in general. It is a tale about a joke that misfired on the protagonist Polzunkov, whose expectations crash down headlong in the end. Another narrative that explores the theme of financial difficulties and misunderstood actions that inevitably lead to terrible outcomes. Fyodor Dostoevsky was a famous Russian writer of novels, short stories, and essays. A connoisseur of the troubled human psyche and the relationships between the individuals, Dostoevsky’s oeuvre covers a large area of subjects: politics, religion, social issues, philosophy, and the uncharted realms of the psychological. He is most famous for the novels "Crime and Punishment", "The Idiot", and "The Brothers Karamazov". His literary legacy was met with mixed feelings, but remains gargantuan in its influence.

Download or read book Another Man's Wife And A Husband Under The Bed written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Another Man's Wife and a Husband under the Bed is a humorous short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The novella looks like a cliché of the vaudeville genre. The theme of the love triangle (or rather the polygon, given the number of heroin's lovers), the ridiculous and pathetic adulterer husbands (always much older than their wives), the idea that a young wife is necessarily lying, fickle and unfaithful, many misunderstandings which lead to situations, but also plenty of dialogues, improbabilities and unexpected twists of all sorts give this sketch a look of a "theater of the boulevard"._x000D_ _x000D_ Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. His literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of 19th-century Russia. Many of his works contain a strong emphasis on Christianity, and its message of absolute love, forgiveness and charity, explored within the realm of the individual, confronted with all of life's hardships and beauty. His major works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature. His novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature.

Download or read book Aspects of Dostoevskii written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps more than any other nineteenth-century Russian writer, Dostoevskii’s continuing popularity rests on his contemporary relevance. The prophetic streak in his creativity gives him the same lasting appeal as dystopian novelists such as Zamiatin and Orwell whom he influenced and whose ethical concerns he anticipated. Religious themes are prominent in his work, too, and, though he was a believer, his interest seems to lie in the tension between faith and unbelief, which was felt as keenly in the Russia of his time as in our own. The nature of Dostoevskii’s art also continues to be debated. The older tendency to disparage his literary method has given way to a recognition of the originality of his techniques, without which his ideological concerns would not have emerged with such thought-provoking clarity. The chapters which comprise this volume address these issues in a range of Dostoevskii’s works, from shorter classics, such as House of the Dead and Notes from Underground to great novels such as Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. This work will be of use to scholars and students of Dostoevskii at all levels as well as to those with an interest in nineteenth-century literature more generally.

Download or read book The Crocodile (Classic Unabridged Edition) written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-06 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 'The Crocodile' is a poignant and satirical novella that delves into the complexities of human nature and society. Written in Dostoyevsky's signature style, the book combines elements of dark humor, existential questioning, and sharp social commentary. Set in St. Petersburg, the story follows the protagonist who is swallowed whole by a crocodile and finds himself in the belly of the beast, reflecting on life, death, and the absurdity of the human condition. Dostoyevsky's exploration of existential themes and his skillful blend of satire and philosophy make 'The Crocodile' a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating read within the context of Russian literature and philosophical thought of the 19th century. Fyodor Dostoyevsky, known for his profound psychological insights and existential explorations, was a Russian novelist and philosopher whose own tumultuous life experiences greatly influenced his literary works. His personal struggles with poverty, imprisonment, and epilepsy are reflected in the themes of suffering, redemption, and morality that permeate his writing. 'The Crocodile' showcases Dostoyevsky's ability to dissect the human psyche and societal norms with depth and nuance, making it a compelling addition to his vast body of work. I highly recommend 'The Crocodile' to readers who appreciate philosophical literature, satire, and psychological depth. Dostoyevsky's keen observations and thought-provoking narrative will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression, inviting readers to contemplate the profound questions of existence and ethics in a unique and engaging way.

Download or read book Dostoevsky's Conception of Man written by Peter McGuire Wolf and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 1997-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dostoevsky's novels have contributed to a conception of man that reverberates in the conclusions of prominent twentieth-century philosophical anthropologists. Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Albert Camus, among others, have admitted that the works of Dostoevsky had an influence on the manner in which they learned to conceive of human nature and the world in which humans live. Our aim in this dissertation is to ask: what is there in the novels of Dostoevsky concerning the nature of man, of which certain philosophers could claim that in their philosophical conceptions of man they were positively influenced by him? The main thesis is substantiated with a careful analysis of four novels: Notes From the House of the Dead (Zapiski iz mertvogo doma), Notes From the Underground (Zapiski iz podpol'ia), Crime and Punishment (Prestuplenie i nakazanie), and The Brothers Karamazov (Brat'ia Karamazovy). These novels were chosen partly because I have come to the conclusion that these novels, more than others, concretely show in what sense the leading characters appear to have made themselves be what they had freely chosen to be under the circumstances in which they had to live, and that they were fully aware of the responsibility they had to bear for the implications and consequences of what they had thus decided. Based upon a close reading, four interpretive chapters employ the most significant criticism from English, Russian and French literary scholarship. Dostoevsky's philosophical conception of man is compared and contrasted with the conception that Scheler and Heidegger hold, i.e., that freedom is man's essence, Sartre's atheistic humanism and Camus' thought. The following conclusions are consonant with Dostoevsky's work: freedom is constitutive for the being (or the mode of being; essence) of man, it is an inalienable duty--one must become oneself. Man strives to overcome himself and to exceed his freedom but in so doing invariably loses it. Man exceeds himself only in the sense that he realizes an ideal human possibility. The Dostoevskian man reveals not only the absence of human nature but also the enormous power which man possesses for achieving his ideal human possibility.

Book excerpt: Cozy Crime And Particular Punishment is a wonderful twist on the original Crime and Punishment. If you are a long time fan of the Fyodor Dostoevsky original, you'll be curious how true this book is to the original. The book makes a departure from the original and may be the most wacky by-product for the Fyodor Dostoevsky fan. In this expanded edition of Crime and Punishment, 85 percent of the original text has been preserved but fused with how Fyodor Dostoevsky would write it today.... It's the perfect read for literature lovers, Fyodor Dostoevsky fans, and anyone who loves a reanimated Crime and Punishment.

Download or read book Raymond Carver's Short Fiction in the History of Black Humor written by Jingqiong Zhou and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book-length study on the black humor in Raymond Carver's work includes valuable interpretations of Carver's aesthetics as well as the psycho-social implications of his short fiction. The presence of an indeterminate «menace» in the oppressive situations of black humor in Carver - as compared to a European tradition of existentialist writing and his American predecessors including Twain, Heller, Barth and others - is mitigated through humor so it is not dominant. As a result, a subtle promise emerges in the characters' lives.

Download or read book The Political and Social Thought of F.M. Dostoevsky written by Stephen Kirby Carter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study concentrates on The Devils, but also places this novel in the total context of Dostoevsky’s work. Also considered is the life and work of T.N. Granovsky, who is satirised along with Turgenev in the novel, and thus offers a useful basis on which to delineate the contours of Dostoevsky’s thought. First published in 1991, the book begins from the belief that his "genius embodies much of what is typical of Russian life: his boundless vitality, his extremism, his lack of empiricism and economy. To understand Dostoevsky is therefore somehow to understand Russia." The author concludes that Dostoevsky badly misunderstood Western liberalism, but grappled very well with the psychology of the radical terrorist. This is explained with reference to his intellectual revolution, which is seen as consisting of six stages from his early works of the 1840s.

Book excerpt: Dostoevskij's of literary portraits are verbal accounts in which physical appearance and facial expression are described not only to evoke a visual image, but more specifically to discern the inner man. Dostoevskij was a close observer of the physical properties of his characters. He employed them to delineate psychological and moral disposition.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profane Challenge and Orthodox Response in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment presents for the first time an examination of this great novel as a work aimed at winning back “target readers”, young contemporary radicals, from Utilitarianism, nihilism, and Utopian Socialism. Dostoevsky framed the battle in the context of the Orthodox Church and oral tradition versus the West. He relied on knowledge of the Gospels as textreceived orally, forcing readers to react emotionally, not rationally, and thus undermining the very basis of his opponents' arguments. Dostoevsky saves Raskol'nikov, underscoring the inadequacy of rational thought and reminding his readers of a heritage discarded at their peril. This volume should be of special interest to secondary and university students, as well as to readers interested in literature, particularly, in Russian literature, and Dostoevsky.

Download or read book Nietzsche and Dostoevsky written by Jeff Love and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than a century, the urgency with which the writing of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche speaks to us is undiminished. Nietzsche explicitly acknowledged Dostoevsky’s relevance to his work, noting its affinities as well as its points of opposition. Both of them are credited with laying much of the foundation for what came to be called existentialist thought. The essays in this volume bring a fresh perspective to a relationship that illuminates a great deal of twentieth-century intellectual history. Among the questions taken up by contributors are the possibility of morality in a godless world, the function of philosophy if reason is not the highest expression of our humanity, the nature of tragedy when performed for a bourgeois audience, and the justification of suffering if it is not divinely sanctioned. Above all, these essays remind us of the supreme value of the questioning itself that pervades the work of Dostoevsky and Nietzsche.
