Dostoevsky manages to produce dialogue and concepts that is so emotional and relevant 140 years later, it is genuinely remarkable. Extremely challenging and I could never claim to truly understand this book, but I never thought I could cry at a Dostoevsky novel, yet here I am.
Forever my favourite author no matter how pretentious that is.
