Novela preciosa, aseguro sin vacilar que fue el mejor libro que leí en 2023, si bien, no es la mejor novela de Dostoievsky, ni la más madura, no deja de ser bella, por su calidad en torno a la humanidad de los personajes que presenta, y las distintas formas en las que se relacionan. Encontramos la compasión, el orgullo, cinismo, amor, resignación, y sobre todo, el aspecto que aborda esta novela que personalmente más me impactó; el acto del perdón.
Hace poco tuve el gusto de ver por primera vez Breaking the waves, una película que explora hasta donde podemos llegar por amor y la bondad. Es raro pensar que incluso separados por años, lenguaje y medio de expre ión Dostoievski y Lars Von Trier tienen las mismas preguntas.
Aparte de esto, se me hace imposible no ver reflejado este trabajo en libros futuros de Dostoievski, El Idiota siendo el más obvio. Ambos lidian con individuos que por el gran corazón que tienen terminan siendo vistos como menos por su entorno.
Definitivamente no es mi favorito pero difícil no amar la prosa.

I somehow didn't expect to enjoy it this much. I liked the similarities with The Idiot (but maybe I just tried to see a connection where there is none)
I think the point Dostoevsky was trying to make is that pride is the biggest of all sins. They all suffer because of their pride. Most of the things they could have avoided but their pride...
Also I am still wondering why Nellie who persuaded and pushed everyone around her to forgive, couldn't forgive till the end.

You simply can't describe this novel.You just can't it's simply "Breathtaking ".
Dostoyevsky is a genuis writer one of a kind really every novel is just a masterpiece .He is unique in every aspect .He'll make you happy, sad, crazy, mad all at the same time. And by the end of his novel he'll make you delighted and satisfied .You won't feel like you've finished a book, no he'll make you feel like you've lost a friend.

It’s hard to rate classics I feel like - I enjoyed parts of this but I also feel like it dragged painfully. But then you can see why they were influential and so timeless.
I found the first two thirds easier to ready, I felt it was witty and sharp. I like the observations that Dostoevsky makes about people, you can tell he is good at observing people and figuring out their scruples.
My favourite scene was probably the big encounter with the Prince, where the mask begins to slide. I just felt like after that point the book begun to drag, and lost that sharpness it’d had earlier.
I’d also clicked onto the twist before the epilogue, so it felt a little redundant.
But still, undeniably good.
Also - RIP Natasha, you would’ve loved posting ‘he knows where home is’ on Facebook

Bueno pues estudiar para el examen de mañana, no he estudiado pero... devorar este libro sí. ¡Qué pasada! Me ha fascinado. Cómo está narrado, los personajes, las relaciones entre todos ellos, los diálogos... ¡Qué protagonista y qué manera de narrar! Es increíble la profundidad que consigue en sus personajes y en todo el contenido de la obra. Creo que es el libro de Dostoievski de los que he leído que más recomiendo para la gente que no ha leído nada suyo. Es fácil de leer, engancha, es muy entretenido y es una pura maravilla. 5/5
La única sensación mala que me deja es que ahora no sé qué leer :(
Me ha gustado muchísimo y llevaba una época muy perezosa con la lectura, me ha devuelto las ganas de leer pero no quiero empezar algo que no esté a la altura :(((
