Descrizione

About The Book: Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1877 short story, "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," delves into the life of a man who embraces nihilism and contemplates suicide due to the perceived meaninglessness of existence. His resolve is shaken by a chance encounter with a distressed girl, altering his course. The plot unfolds as the protagonist, armed with a revolver, confronts the depths of despair and embarks on a dream journey. In the dream, he experiences death, resurrection, and an idyllic utopia that succumbs to corruption. Awakening transformed, he rejects suicide, embraces life, and dedicates himself to preaching an earthly paradise. The narrative encapsulates Dostoevsky's key themes, including the carnivalized genre of Menippean satire, the wisdom of eccentric characters, and the transformative power of vision.
