Crime and Punishment / Zločin a trest - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

This abridged and linguistically adapted version of Crime and Punishment endeavors to introduce the reader to the masterpiece of the Russian author Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The writer himself characterized it as a psychological record of one crime. Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff is a poor student who has been forced to give up his university studies. He withdraws from society and plans to murder an old moneylender. He is convinced that murder and robbery of a despicable, mean old woman who oppresses her sister and exploits her clients will sure enough be excused, or even approved of, and make many good deeds possible. But this story is not about the crime... Tato jazykově upravená a zestručněná verze románu Zločin a trest se čtenáři pokouší představit vrcholné dílo ruského autora Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského.

Stáhne se i ze společnosti a naplánuje vraždu staré lichvářky. Je přesvědčen, že vražda a oloupení zavrženíhodné, zlé stařeny, která utiskuje svou sestru a odírá své klienty, bude jistě prominuta, neli dokonce schvalována, a umožní mnoho dobrých skutků.

Translated by Constance Garnett with an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine, University of Kent at Canterbury.Crime and Punishment is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written. From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder.From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime.The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence: most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment, as against the constraints of morality and human laws; and our agonised awareness of the world''s harsh injustices and of our own mortality, as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality.

Idiot - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Nové vydání jednoho z nejzdařilejších románů nejčtenějšího ruského spisovatele s osmi desítkami ilustrací u nás již dobře známého malíře Michaila Gavričkova. Román Idiot, na němž Dostojevskij pracoval během svého pobytu ve Švýcarsku a v Itálii, kdy procházel tíživou existenční krizí, a který poprvé vyšel v letech 1868–1869, patří bezesporu k jeho nejpozoruhodnějším dílům a vymyká se všem ostatním. A je také dílem nejosobnějším, neboť autor do jeho protagonisty promítl mnohé ze svých nejniternějších existenciálních zážitků a přesvědčení. Dostojevskij si v tomto románu předsevzal „stvořit obraz ideálně krásného člověka“, což sám považoval za úkol vpravdě „kolosální“, ba nemožný, neboť „na světě nemůže být nic obtížnějšího, zvláště v naší době“. Touto ideálně krásnou bytostí je kníže Myškin, postava, která se provždy nesmazatelně zapsala do dějin literatury a která dodnes nepřestává inspirovat a okouzlovat čtenáře na celém světě. Myškin je vnitřně krásný, ctnostný, ušlechtilý, vyrovnaný, ryzí člověk, zcela bezelstný, nevinný, téměř „andělský“. Na rozdíl od mnoha jiných známých autorových postav je zcela prost všech temných vášní, konfliktnosti, žádostivosti a zlých „běsů“. Strádají-li ostatní Dostojevského hrdinové přebytkem smyslnosti, pak Myškin naopak strádá jejím naprostým nedostatkem.

White Nights and Other Stories - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Feeling alone and abandoned by everyone, a young man and self-confessed dreamer decides to take to the streets of St Petersburg during one of its long summer nights. As he roams around the empty city, he chances on a weeping girl, whom he approaches and rescues from the unwanted attentions of an importunate gentleman. The two agree to meet again the following night on the same spot, and as they start revealing their life story to each other, the young man cannot resist falling in love with his new acquaintance.A quintessential tale of urban solitude and the desperate need for human contact, White Nights, a novella written in 1848, soon after The Double, is accompanied in this volume by the rest of Dostoevsky's shorter fiction, including famous stories such as 'Mr Prokharchin', 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man', 'A Gentle Creature' and 'Bobok' – all presented in sparkling new translations by Roger Cockrell.List of Stories: The Landlady, Mr Prokharchin, A Novel in Nine Letters, Another Man's Wife and a Husband Under the Bed, A Weak Heart, Polzunkov, An Honest Thief, A Christmas Tree and a Wedding, White Nights, A Little Hero, A Nasty Story, Bobok, The Heavenly Christmas Tree, The ...

Notes from Underground and the Double - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

That sense of the meaninglessness of existence that runs through much of twentieth-century writing - from Conrad and Kafka, to Beckett and beyond - starts in Dostoyevsky's work' Malcolm BradburyAlienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the 'anthill' and his gradual withdrawal from society. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who looks exactly like him - his double perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality.Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly tragi-comic study of human consciousness.

A Gentle Creature and Other Stories - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

In the stories in this volume Dostoevsky explores both the figure of the dreamer divorced from reality and also his own ambiguous attitude to utopianism, themes central to many of his great novels. In White Nights the apparent idyll of the dreamer''s romantic fantasies disguises profound loneliness and estrangement from ''living life''. Despite his sentimental friendship with Nastenka, his final withdrawal into the world of the imagination anticipates the retreat into the ''underground'' of many of Dostoevsky''s later intellectual heroes. A Gentle Creature and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man show how such withdrawal from reality can end in spiritual desolation and moral indifference and how, in Dostoevsky''s view, the tragedy of the alienated individual can be resolved only by the rediscovery of a sense of compassion and responsibility towards fellow human beings. This new translation captures the power and lyricism of Dostoevsky''s writing, while the introduction examines the stories in relation to one another and to his novels.

This volume includes ''Bobok'', the tale of a frustrated writer visiting a cemetery and enjoying the gossip of the dead; ''The Dream of a Ridiculous Man'', the story of one man''s plan to commit suicide and the troubling dream that follows, as well as ''A Christmas Party and a Wedding'', ''A Nasty Story'' and ''The Meek One''.

The Double and The Gambler - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Two small masterpieces in one volume. First, The Double, a surprisingly modern hallucinatory nightmare that foreshadows Kafka and Sartre. A minor official named Goliadkin becomes aware of a mysterious doppelganger - a man who has his name and his face and who gradually and relentlessly begins to displace him with his friends and colleagues. In the dilemma of his increasingly paranoid hero, Dostoevsky makes vividly concrete the inner plurality of consciousness that would become a major theme of his work. Second, The Gambler, a stunning psychological portrait of a young man''s exhilarating and destructive addiction, a compulsion that Dostoevsky - who once gambled away his wife''s wedding ring- knew intimately from his own experience. In the disastrous love affairs and gambling adventures of Alexei Ivanovich, Dostoevsky explores the irresistible temptation to look into the abyss of ultimate risk that he believed was an essential part of the Russian national character.

Poor Folk and Other Stories - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

With their penetrating psychological insight and their emphasis on human dignity, respect and forgiveness, Dostoyevsky''s early short stories contain the seeds of the themes that came to his major novels. Poor Folk, the author''s first great literary triumph, is the story of a tragic relationship between an impoverished copy clerk and a young seamstress, told through their passionate letters to each other. In The Landlady Dostoyevsky portrays a dreamer hero who is captivated by a curious couple and becomes their lodger. Mr Prokharchin, inspired by a true story, is a sly comedy centring on an eccentric miser, and Polzunkov is a powerful character sketch which, in common with the other tales in this volume, questions the very nature of existence.

A probing, speculative book, often regarded as a forerunner of the Existentialist movement, it examines the important political and philosophical questions that were current in Russia and Europe at the time. The Gambler (1866), set in the fictional town of Roulettenberg, explores the compulsive nature of gambling, one of the author''s own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama.Specially commissioned for the World''s Classics, this new translation includes a full editorial apparatus.

The Village of Stepanchikovo and Its Inhabitants - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Presented in a new translation by Roger Cockrell, The Village of Stepanchikovo and Its Inhabitants was originally conceived as a play and first published in 1859, shortly after the author’s release from forced military service. Gogolian in style and tone, and waspish in its description of the villainous Opiskin, it is a sustained exercise in caricatural cruelty and a comedic tour de force. The young Sergei is summoned from St Petersburg by his uncle, the retired colonel Yegor Rostanev, to the remote country estate of Stepanchikovo. Rostanev’s household, populated by a medley of remarkable characters, is dominated by the figure of Foma Opiskin, a devious, manipulative hanger-on who has everyone in thrall and plots to marry the colonel to the woman of his choice, Tatyana Ivanova. When Opiskin finds that his plans are being thwarted, a confrontation with Rostanev ensues, and all hell is let loose.

The award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have given us the definitive version of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s strikingly original short novels, The Double and The Gambler.The Double is a surprisingly modern hallucinatory nightmare–foreshadowing Kafka and Sartre–in which a minor official named Goliadkin becomes aware of a mysterious doppelganger, a man who has his name and his face and who gradually and relentlessly begins to displace him with his friends and colleagues. The Gambler is a stunning psychological portrait of a young man''s exhilarating and destructive addiction to gambling, a compulsion that Dostoevsky–who once gambled away his young wife''s wedding ring–knew intimately from his own experience. In chronicling the disastrous love affairs and gambling adventures of Alexei Ivanovich, Dostoevsky explores the irresistible temptation to look into the abyss of ultimate risk that he believed was an essential part of the Russian national character.

The Crocodile and Other Stories (riverrun Editions) - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

''I have always been ridiculous, and I have known it, perhaps from the hour I was born''A man goes mad because he is happy.A civil servant behaves like a monster at a wedding-party.A man is swallowed by a crocodile, but not eaten nor seriously damaged.Dostoevsky''s stories inhabit similarly volcanic atmospheres as his novels, places of curiosity and exception. They resemble jokes and anecdotes, told by volatile, voluble, morbidly sensitive and frustrated characters. These narrators all have a tendency to express themselves in crescendos of conflicting emotions, while the stories themselves steer clear of grand conclusions. Michael Wood''s selection of Dostoevsky''s shorter works is drawn from the timeless translations of Constance Garnett whose work, he says in his preface, gives readers the best of several worlds.

Dvojník - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Dielo F. M. Dostojevského je nepochybne úprimným výrazom citlivej osobnosti, ktorá musela všetko prežiť a pretrpieť, než bola schopná to vysloviť. Ale Dostojevskij nehovoril len za seba. Jeho ústami nariekali, živorili a milovali nielen milióny ruských ľudí, ale aj milióny čitateľov na celom svete. Drásaná rozpormi sveta vôkol seba i v sebe, často nechápajúco čo ide, prenasledovaná časom, v ktorom "nebolo väčšieho zločinu, než byť bez peňazí a včas nezaplatiť", osobnosť vychádzala z tejto nemilosrdnej dielne doby väčšinou pokrytá ranami, vnútorne krvácajúca a zdeformovaná. A keď sa v jej pekelnom vnútre vzpriečila, bola bez milosti rozdrvená. Tak bola poznamenaná dobou aj geniálna osobnosť Dostojevského a odtiaľ vyviera jej vnútorná rozpoltenosť a duševná nalomenosť. Kniha vychádza v brilantnom preklade slávneho slovenského rusistu Jána Ferenčíka.

Předkládáme veřejnosti studiové nahrávky výňatků z představení pražského Divadla na Vinohradech za poslední období. Výběr byl zaměřen na ty z našich inscenací, které se nějakým způsobem vážou k oslavám sedmdesáti let trvání Divadla na Vinohradech, v nichž lze vystopovat organickou a niternou vazbu ke kořenům a tradicím toho nejlepšího v tomto divadle...V albu jsou zastoupena ( jak díla klasická (Shakespearův Hamlet, Gorkého Letní hosté, Ibsenova Nora, Tolstého Car Fjodor), tak nejsoučasnější novinky původní dramatické tvorby (Jílkův Silvestr). Zároveň je ve výboru zastoupen jeden velmi úspěšný pokus převedení románové látky na jeviště (Clavellův Král krysa). Je to cesta, jež má v Divadle na Vinohradech dlouholetou tradici. Slavné Borovy inscenace románů F.M.Dostojevského byly jedny z prvních. Proto také při této příležitosti připomínáme slavnou inscenaci Zločinu a trestu archivním záznamem Zakopalova Marmeladova. I ve výběru ostatních děl jsme se zaměřili na ta, jejichž uvádění patří k tradicím Vinohradského divadla. Jsou to díla ruské a sovětské klasiky, která od prvopočátku vytvářela profil a ...

V jeho divadle se však pořádaly i koncerty významných českých a světových novinek, pohotově připravená matiné vystřídaly velké básnické večery, návštěvníci se seznamovali s dílem předních výtvarníků jak prostřednictvím výstav v prostorách divadla, tak i skvěle koncipovaných opon k jeho inscenacím.

Bratři Karamazovovi - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Nové ilustrované vydání jednoho z nejvýznamnějších děl zlatého věku ruské literatury s desítkami dosud nepublikovaných obrazů ruského malíře Borise Grigorjeva. Dostojevského román Bratři Karamazovovi, který vyšel česky poprvé již v roce 1894 a dočkal se celkem šesti českých překladů, byl už nedlouho po svém vydání považován za jeden z vrcholů světové literatury a dodnes patří k nejčtenějším dílům vůbec. Na pozadí osudu rodiny Karamazovových, otce a jeho synů, z nichž nejstarší Dimitrij je obviněn z otcovraždy, Dostojevskij rozvíjí a promýšlí nejdůležitější filozofické otázky, které si člověk klade odnepaměti. Nové vydání Dostojevského románu je doplněno unikátní, dosud nepublikovanou sérií šesti desítek ilustrací ruského malíře Borise Grigorjeva (1886–1939), který patří k nejvýraznějším osobnostem ruské malby první poloviny dvacátého století a jehož díla se nacházejí ve sbírkách mnoha muzeí v Rusku i na Západě. Grigorjev byl dobře známý i milovníkům malířství v meziválečném Československu. Pražské veřejnosti se poprvé představil samostatnou výstavou v Mánesu v roce 1926, o šest let později byla jeho díla prezentována ve výstavní síni Francouzského institutu Arnošta Denise ve Štěpánské ulici.

Inscenace, které zaujaly (III) - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij, Molnár Ferenc - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Z komentáře Zdeňka Kaloče, Petra Průši a redakce k původnímu albu 1 18 1320 „Inscenace, které zaujaly (III)“ vydanému Supraphonem v roce 1972 a nyní vycházejícímu poprvé digitálně: DOSTOJEVSKÉHO KNÍŽE MYŠKIN – filantrop tvořený zcela podle křesťanského ideálu: na urážky, ponižování a křivdu odpovídá laskavým úsměvem a pokorou; nepoznal ženu a fyzickému styku s ní se vyhýbá. Můžeme uvěřit v existenci takového člověka? Nevěří v ni ani spisovatel a zatíží ho duševní chorobou. Dokonale krásný idiot – paradox, který je výrazem rozpornosti Dostojevského myslitele a Dostojevského básníka…Dostojevský dochází k ohromujícímu poznání: jeho hrdina měl být prototypem dobra, ale stal se příčinou neštěstí druhých. Ideál se zbortil, neboť už od začátku stál na hliněných nohou. Dostojevskij ztroskotal, neboť – slovy Ejzenštejnovými – společenská filantropie nespočívá v lítosti, nýbrž v přetváření. Proč tedy s IDIOTEM na jeviště? Dostojevského ztroskotání je velkolepé a krásné. Podobá se o pokusu o sestrojení perpetua mobile, při němž byl objeven zákon o zachování energie. Výchozí hypotéza potvrzena nebyla, ale byl nalezen důkaz k jejímu vyvrácení. Umělecká pravda vítězí nad subjektivní názorovou doktrínou.

Zločin a trest - ilustrovaný - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij, Dave McKean

Bohatě ilustrované vydání stěžejního díla světové literatury a zároveň nejslavnější detektivky všech dob, v níž autor rozkrývá nejtemnější zákoutí a záhyby duše vraha, chudého petrohradského studenta práv, který promyslel, naplánoval a spáchal vraždu staré lichvářky, a to nikoli z čistě sobeckých, zištných pohnutek ani v afektu, nýbrž z přesvědčení, z pocitu nadřazenosti a intelek¬tuální pýchy, je dopl¬něno více než sedmdesáti původními obrazy a kresbami proslulého anglického malíře a ilustrátora Davea McKeana. Dostojevskij své velké strhující drama o zločinu, o souboji dobra a zla, o svědomí, trestu, vykoupení, a také o Rusku a ruské duši, začal psát roku 1865 v zahraničí nedlouho po smrti své první ženy a bratra, kdy se ocitl ve finanční tísni. Román vycházel nejprve na pokračování v časopise Russkij věstnik, v roce 1866 byl publikován knižně. Česky vyšel poprvé roku 1883 v překladu Josefa Penížka, v pozdějších letech byl přeložen ještě celkem pětkrát.

Notes from Underground: New Translation - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

The unnamed narrator of the novel, a former government official, has decided to retire from the world and lead a life of inactivity and contemplation. His fiercely bitter, cynical and witty monologue ranges from general observations and philosophical musings to memorable scenes from his own life, including his obsessive plans to exact revenge on an officer who has shown him disrespect and a dramatic encounter with a prostitute.Seen by many as the first existentialist novel and showcasing the best of Dostoevsky's dry humour, Notes from Underground was a pivotal moment in the development of modern literature and has inspired countless novelists, thinkers and film-makers.

The Brothers Karamazov - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

"The Brothers Karamazov" is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving Karamazov and his three sons - the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the social and spiritual strivings in what was both a golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.

The Idiot - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky's masterful translation of The Idiot is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive Dostoevsky in English. After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a man of pure innocence. The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and "be among people." Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant's son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this "positively beautiful man" on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.

The Idiot: New Translation - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

After spending several years in a sanatorium recovering from an illness that caused him to lose his memory and ability to reason, Prince Myshkin arrives in St Petersburg and is at once confronted with the stark realities of life in the Russian capital – from greed, murder and nihilism to passion, vanity and love. Mocked for his childlike naivety yet valued for his openness and understanding, Prince Myshkin finds himself entangled with two women in a position he cannot bring himself to resolve.Dostoevsky, who wrote that in the character of Prince Myshkin he hoped to portray a “wholly virtuous man”, shows the workings of the human mind and our relationships with others in all their complex and contradictory nature. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters, from the beautiful, self-destructive Nastasya Filippovna to the dangerously obsessed Rogozhin and the radical student Ippolit, The Idiot is one of Dostoevsky’s most personal and intense works of fiction.

The Idiot - Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij

Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent.Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky''s own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot accomodate the goodness of this idiot.
