A review by peytonaaa
Netochka Nezvanova by Fyodor Dostoevsky
4.0
I adored this actually! It's unfinished and ends right in the middle of the action, so it can't really be compared to Dostoevsky's masterworks, but I really enjoyed it. 9/10 maybe
"There are moments when all the intellectual and spiritual faculties, painfully overstrained, seem suddenly to blaze with the bright flame of consciousness. At these times the troubled soul, languishing with a presentiment, a foretaste of the future, has something akin to a prophetic vision. And the whole being longs to live, it cries out for life, and the heart, alight with blind, desperate hope, will invoke the future, with all its mystery and incertitude, its storms and tempests, if only it will bring life."
