Great analysis of this book Eric. I read it a couple years ago and I still think about it weekly. It really shows the toxicity of a hateful mindset that I also have to catch myself from sliding into.
Thanks! It's hard to review a book with so much to it. Definitely read it at the right time. If you ever come across other reads that stick with you for a long time let me know. Those are my favourite.
Great review and explanation! I appreciate you're own personal experience and how you relate to the book and again thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work and you got yourself a new subscriber and a like!
Awesome! I was thinking of Dostoyevsky the other day and I might need to dig into another of his titles. I loved Crime and Punishment. If you have a suggestion between The Idiot or The Brothers Karamazov, please let me know. Thanks for watching my cringey first review ever.
@@erictheread9409 it wasn’t that bad, man! 😄 On the contrary. It made me pick the book down and dust it off. Imho I’d actually go for both. They’re quite deep but more akin to Crime and Punishment than Foucaults pendulum. Maybe you know that Eco on purpose wrote that book complicated because he just felt for it, apparently the Name of the Rose weren’t complicated enough. Back to Dostoyevsky. I suggest both but not one right after the other, take couple of other books in between. Preferably something light. Many Russian authors are great. It only takes a bit to get into them properly, they write in a different way compared to modern westerners. But to continue on the Russian run. I highly suggest Tolstoy and Solzhenitsyn. And let them take their time. Am looking forward to your next review! 👊🏻
I honestly can't remember the exact machinations behind his predicament at the beginning of the novel at this point. The stuff that has stuck with me has largely been the themes, discussions, and tone of the book.
@@ilqar887 C&P was my introduction to the big Russian novels so I don't have much to go on from the region although I do intend to tackle Anna Karenina. In terms of a sharp contrast in themes I found C&P stood in stark contrast to The Stranger by Albert Camus.
