Idiot - Fyodor Dostoevsky !!
I just completed, Idiot - by Dostoevsky !!
By the end of it, I am actually at my wits end, with the climax he has given to it. I did not expect an ending anything close to what it is now. It could be my shallowness, but no where I was expecting something like what I read. And I did not grasp it until it was specifically written.
And actually, I am at loss of words or rather lack of an expression altogether. I don’t think it has actually sunk in as I was moving in my own dreams with the novel.
The novel has expressed some very interesting and thought provoking aspects of human nature, of the society we dwell in and of notions that we so often think about. But the description at times is more than what is required, to an extend that you need to take a break and come back with renewed freshness. But in the end, I have to say only that
Dostoevsky is a sick man, and still I have a great respect for him !!
For he is a man who has great insight in the human psychology, of human nature and their understanding. And that, though his novel had many of unique characters and unreal scenes, the story did not venture far off from reality.
