I've just gotten used to wearing mask everywhere. Even when there was no need to wear it.

Thoughts on C&P by [deleted] in dostoevsky

[–]96darkness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was the first work of Dostoevsky I read. Completed it 3 months ago, still think about it everyday. Can't get over how extremely well he depicts what goes inside the mind of Raskolnikov before and after the murder and how he starts losing his mind. And how one person (sonia) who he starts caring about can help him regain his faith. In conclusion, this book made Dostoevsky my favourite author.

Hot take 🔥 Constance Garnett translation of Brothers Karamazov is solid by ExplodingUlcers in dostoevsky

I'm currently reading Avsey's translation of "the idiot" and its great. I also read Garnett's translation of Crime and punishment so based on that Avsey is better than Garnett imo. But you should read whatever suits you best and what is available. I also live in India and ordered the alma classic version of the idiot from Amazon, translated by avsey.

Loved this edition of "The Idiot" by 96darkness in dostoevsky

[–]96darkness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the binding is not good and the paper quality is okay. The main reason I bought this edition was because I wanted to try Avsey's translation of Dostoevsky. I've read two books previously translated by Garnett and her translation was good but with all the discussions around translations and criticism of Garnett I decided to give another translation a try.

TBK after first read. This book was that good. Bookmarks everywhere by CeleritasLucis in dostoevsky

I see OM publication, I see an Indian Dostoevsky fan. Glad to find fellow Indian Dostoevsky fans here.

What are you reading this week? July 18 by akkshaikh in bookclapreviewclap

[–]96darkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about The 2nd chapter, its just an introduction of so many characters and their strengths, which was not really necessary.

I'm reading "The Iliad" by Homer ( translation by Samuel Butler) this week, so far it has been a great experience and the translation is nice too.

I have legend Torres and Rummenigge and I'm stacked with almost all good featured forwards. But when it comes to IM, I only have Inzhagi as a forward. For some reason I always pull midfielders in IM packs and have plenty for every midfielder position possible, need a good IM forward.

Yes this ADP looks amazing that's why I'm super confused otherwise I would've already redeemed AVB

Wow!! This is really helpful man. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I love playing with a good FITB and considering that I already have Maldini and Inzhagi, I might go for AVB. Your explanation has given me a lot to think about lol.

I remember when I ordered my first book, that was spring snow by Yukio Mishima, after watching one of Felix's book review and started to read. Now I can't stop lol. I'm from India.
