Dostoevsky: The Seeds of Revolt, 1821-1849 door Joseph Frank
"Dostoevsky: The seeds of revolt 1821-1849" is het eerste deel van een vijfdelige biografie over leven en werk van Dostojevski. Het boek is veelgeprezen. Ik heb de eerste 128 blz gelezen en vond die goed geschreven en prettig en interessant om te lezen. Maar ja, als je dan nog ruim 2000 blz moet zinkt de moed je een beetje in de schoenen. Misschien dat ik er later nog eens verder in ga lezen.
