Espero conseguir el primer libro o el tercero pronto. Sin duda el autor ha hecho un buen trabajo de investigación. Este último sin duda un hombre capaz de sufrir en silencio, nunca delató a ningún compañero, un hombre con una brillante retórica que quedaba lejos de la comprensión de los otros. Como dato curioso conoció en la cárcel al abuelo de Nabokov y lo describe como un hombre vulgar, quizás eso nos explique la poca simpatía que tiene Nabokov hacia Dovstoievski.
Otra de sus preocupaciones fue el seguir leyendo y escribiendo y que fuesen a editar mal alguna obra de él. El tiempo que estuvo en la cárcel siempre estuvo preocupado y protegiendo a su hermano quien estaba afuera, conmueve el amor fraternal. Nos habla de sus años en la cárcel debido a asociaciones con personas equivocadas, no es que fuese un ladronzuelo de poca monta. Siendo éste el segundo tomo ya que no encontré el primero. For one thing, he got married in Semipalatinsk to his first wife, Marya Dimitrievna - which turned into an unhappy marriage.Īs I continue to read Frank's magisterial five-volume biography, I also intend to read most of Dostoyevsky's fiction around the same time.Įste libro es una colección de 5 libros de la biografía de Dovstoievski. While Frank has very little to discuss with Dostoyevsky's works, there was a lot happening in his life. One would think that Dostoevsky: The Years of Ordeal, 1850-1859 would be relatively boring because the writer's only works during this time were the relatively unread Uncle's Dream and The Village of Stepanchikovo.
His heir, Alexander II, was committed to freeing the serfs, which was Dostoyevsky's main raison d'etre for risking joining the Petrashevsky Circle. Also, during this time, the cruel Nicholas I died. Joseph Frank dedicates an entire volume to this period, which although fallow in a literary sense, marked a sea change in his feelings about Russia. During the whole time, he was forbidden to publish and he was still under surveillance by the Tsar's government. There he served four years with criminals and other political prisoners.Īfter he had served his sentence, he was forced to serve in the army at Semipalatinsk, also in Siberia.
Although he and his fellow co-conspirators were condemned to death, the firing squad was a charade and the young writer was packed off to a forced labor camp in Siberia, at Omsk. In 1849, he was arrested for suspicion of treason for belonging to the dissident Petrashevsky Circle. There was a ten-year gap in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's writing career.
