Dostoevsky requires a deep commitment and is very difficult.

His novels take introspection to the highest degree and everyone is continually examining every thought and action.

Yes. Dostoevsky. If it wasn’t for Alousous, I would have stopped reading the book. The good brother redeemed my hope in mankind. I saw myself as the middle brother, afraid of connecting with people.

After Dostoevsky, I read “Zorba the Greek” and really enjoyed it. Can you recommend a book for me to read?

It used to be said that Dickens created caricatures, while Dostoyevsky created psychological characters.
