This is my first Dostoevsky novel and I will say this felt like I was slipping into a dream. With the atmosphere and the romance. The writing is beautiful and very descriptive. I have to agree with a friend though that said the romance happened entirely too fast and it was kind of hard to take that seriously. The narrator is a lonely man so I can understand how quickly he falls. In the end what i take from this is that no matter how brief the encounter with another person it leaves an impression on you.
I KNEW SHE’D GO BACK TO THAT MAN!!! even though it’s short this is arguably one of my favorite books by dostoevsky. it pulls at your emotions and makes you root for a complete stranger just to feel and completely understand his pain by the end of the book. i LOVE it
