"A weak heart" was one of Dostoyevsky's first stories. He was just 27 years old when he wrote it.
This short tale spins around two young fellas who live together in an apartment. Both share the fresh joy of the youth. One of them is about to get married to a young beautiful girl. However, his sense of general happiness enters in conflict with his individual pleasures.
This short tale successfully focuses on the psychology part of its characters; both of the main characters have different personalities, with different outcomes in this story.
Dostoyevsky managed to deliver an insight short story concerning mental health and its consequences. This same short story is as relevant today as it was back then. It perfectly depicts psychological problems - such as anxiety and depression - in a compelling manner that is applicable nowadays.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Definitivt den svakeste Dostojevski-boka jeg har lest. På grensa til en 2-er, tror jeg. Har gitt Spilleren 3 stjerner også, men den var noen hakk bedre og i ettertid har jeg humret mye av nattlue-fornærmelsene til bestemor. Et svakt hjerte er litt trist, litt irriterende og tja, helt grei egentlig.

Bana öyle geliyor ki, ben hiçbir zaman kendimi tanımadım.

Ne zamandır Gogol ve Paltosu kadar seveceğim bi' klasik arayışındayım, bulamayıp anca heba oluyorum. Biliyorsanız söyleyin bak, sinsi sinsi kendiniz okumayın hem böylelikle gölgelerin gücüne gitmemiş olur.
