Book Reviews of Dostoevsky: The Stir of Liberation, 1860-1865
Book Review: The seminal seed!
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe sound to free speculation, but to my view, Dostoevsky is spiritually the embodiment of the rebel man. Moreover, he may be regarded the authentic godfather of the existentialism in Literature. There are many arguments to support it, the conceptual, the spiritual affinities, the silence of God, the silent anguish and the clawing scream of desperation before the emptiness of the existence, so magisterially expressed in Karamazov brothers.
On the other hand, at the moment to read that notable essay of Albert Camus: "The rebel man" and the close affinity between "The happy death" and "Crime and punishment" you even may spin finer and so to establish certain parallelisms with the most radical branches of the Romanticism.
Between Dostoevsky and Camus, there are important links: Rimbaud Verlaine and Baudelaire pick up and establish important premises for the reluctant existentialism that remains latent to make its incursion with that impressive outburst after the WW1.
Joseph Franks leads the reader for admirable paths of passionate interest in order to convey us the core of the oul of this writer of writers.
Absolutely recommended.
