I found this novel to be extremely entertaining. His ability to write a novel that spans just a week in the story and make it not only entertaining but addicting and completely changes your views of psychology. I read it in January of this year and I think about it often. I can’t wait to read the rest of his novels
Seriously? It was just a week?
@@nilleyi2231 yes the main plot happens in a span of like 5-7 days. The book does talk about the past and goes into the future in the epilogue but the majority of the story is in that 5-7 day time frame
I must be slow because I did not realize that lol I would’ve guessed a couple months 🤣
@@SLMDNKAHO I think the book seems like it takes place over a longer period because as the op said the narrative discusses things that happen before the crime takes place. For instance the story of his predicament that is told by marmeladov and the letter from Rodya's mother about Donya's situation with Svidrigailov all take place before the story but are told to Raskolnikov within that few day span.
What translation did you read?
I just got this book as a gift and I’ve been wanting to read it for a long time, your video is like a sign to start reading it asap. Thanks for your review, I’m even more excited about it now
The Brothers Karamazov is along those similar lines of not reading a novel for entertainment but for what you get out of it after finishing it. It’s far and away my favorite novel of all time not because of the entertainment, but because of the philosophy and and overall message that it preaches. It certainly has its dry moments but it’s also the most quotable novel I’ve ever read.
I had such a similar experience while reading it, I also wasn’t sure if I was going to finish it, it sat a few weeks on my nightstand stand for the first 100 pages, but after the crime I was hooked. I also had a nightmare were I had to convince everyone that I hadn’t committed a crime, and when I wake up I had the same feeling of it being real, so crazy, horrible feeling.
The book is great though, aside from the epilogue that wasn’t my cup of tea.
I would recommend reading "Notes from Underground" next. It's is very short but disturbing to the core.
Just read this in two days. One of best books I’ve read and shame it’s so short
This book changed the way I think, it made me believe that morals are shaped In people not inherently known, this made me a stern believer in christian morals
Just waiting for my book to arrive by mail next week. Can't wait to start!!!
Thanks for the review. Now that you’ve read C&P, you might get stuck in a very big Dostoevsky adventure. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts!
I’ve always wanted to read this but I’ve been so intimidated by it. This just made me put it at the top of my list. Thank you!
It’s challenging but worth it. Hope you enjoy
I haven’t picked up a book since I was in middle school. I picked up this book for literally no reason. I had heard of it before and I figured why not. I finished it in about 8 days and it’s 10/10. Give it a shot
Read notes from underground first
Just finished the last page of C&P and watched this review. It is worth the read and he definitely makes you think deeply throughout multiple sections of this book. If there are no defined morals can you do anything you want? Can you operate with your own set of values independent of what you are taught by society, culture, religion etc. You really explore this with the main character and are able to draw a lot of parallels in your own life, at least I did.
I started with The Idiot. I just finished Karamazov Brothers and I loved both! I agree, they are a slog to get through but if you stick with them it doesn’t take long to fall in love with his characters. I’m starting C&P next. I’m curious to see which you prefer once you make it through a few more of his 😊 keep reading! You won’t be disappointed!
I’m halfway through at the moment and having a good time… I feel like im finally at the point where I am motivated to pick it up
I got read this book last year and I agree, it's not really reading for "enjoyment", but the payoff is well worth it. Another great video mate
Thanks!
This is a life changing book
Just finished this novel and couldn't put it down. Maybe because I got it on kindle, I had no idea what the length was going in but at no point did I feel like it was a slog. Also had a vivid nightmare that I had murdered someone and needed to get away with it. The sense of anxiety you get reading this book is indescribable. Especially if you're a 20-something yr old male that hasn't achieved too much with a mum and sister lol
Started reading this book recently. I have the same edition.
I was listening audiobook of karamazov brothers it's seemingly inevitable 44hrs no time to die good heavens🐅📖
Which translation is the most preferable in terms of readability? I'm in search of a relatively easy version
Starting part 4.... It's so loongggggggg
Can anybody tell me which is best and easy transition of crime and punishment
I have NOT read Crime and Punishment (yet, I’m buying a copy tomorrow because of payday baby👌) but I HAVE had a dream similar to this guy.
I didn’t dream of killing somebody I love. I didn’t dream the act of murder, and I didn’t dream who it was that I murdered. All I remember is that I was in a state of mind where I was convinced that I was directly responsible for the unnecessary death of somebody I loved dearly. It was one of, if not, the most haunting experience of my life. I’ve had some wild sleep paralysis experiences that are close seconds but that dream still haunts me to this day.
I just finished this book not long ago and while I was reading it felt very confused, ill and feverish… It really got to me I felt like I was confusing myself and the character.
But I was disappointed by the end, I thought it was too easy and simple…
I have it but still didn't read it because it's constance garnett translation. Many says that, her translation isn't good.
Ich liebe Taniguchis Werke.
Harut ich würde dir aufjedenfall die 3 Einzelbände von Taniguchi empfehlen:
1: Die Sicht der Dinge
2: Ein Zoo im Winter
3: Vertraute Fremde
leider werden die drei Manga von keinem Verlag derzeit Angeboten
Can you link where you bought the book from because there are many shit ones and bad translation
Haha, I thought it was weird this book of all books gave me nightmares, well, a singular nightmare
I've been considering reading this but I have a pretty difficult work schedule. Could you give me a rough estimate of how many hours it will take me to read it? loved the video by the way!
Thanks! It’s going to take a long time to read. Idk how long it’ll take you, but it probably took me about 20 hours total
@@williampdozier Thanks a lot. I'm going to read it over the course of next month.
It is hard to get through, but worth it! Same with the idiot and the brothers K (can’t spell it off the top of my head lol)
I also had nightmares, but I read it when I was 16. I don't think you should read at a young age.
im 15 taking English 2 honors, i have to read the whole book by october 6th. Seeing this is very intimidating.
😘
That was dostoevsky intent.
Nightmares? Anyway, it is NOT so much that Raskolnikov "thinks he can get away with murdering someone," as much as he wishes to murder someone as an experiment in order to see if intellectually superior individuals are above common concepts of morality. He picks an awful woman to murder (someone who earns her living taking advantage of the impoverished), but unfortunately, he is caught by that woman's relative and must kill her as well. We do see a different side to Raskolnikov as he clearly has empathy for the less fortunate and gives his remaining money to help a destitute family, and he also clearly loves his sister and tried to prevent her from entering a loveless marriage. Now, if I remember correctly, he doesn't actually get caught as he gives himself up and then goes to Siberia as part of his sentence where the prostitute he helped follows and awaits his release. There might be some "Christian" related nonsense I do not agree with (as Christians are so evil, they will murder an innocent dog in order to make you believe in heaven because THAT is how evil and nuts they are), but it is a wonderful novel that was one of the first to really explore the psychology of its protagonist.
