thahiya 's review for:

The Dream Of A Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0

i LOVED this so much—the emotional arc of the story was so beautiful: from complete despair to a sense of radiant, almost child-like hope. cause how do you go from

“I believe that I should have blown out my brains the same evening”

to “I have seen and I know that people can be beautiful and happy without losing the power of living on earth. I will not and cannot believe that evil is the normal condition of mankind”

idk but this lowkey changed my life
