innashpitzberg20 сентября 2013 г.Читать далееIn Dostoyevsky the characters and situations always stand for more than themselves; infinity attends them; though yet they remain individuals they expand to embrace and summon it to embrace them; one can apply to them the saying of St. Catherine of Siena that God is in the soul and the soul is in God as the sea is in the fish and the fish is in the sea. Every sentence he writes implies this extension, and the implication is the dominant aspect of his work. He is a great novelist . . . (but) he has also the greatness of a prophet, to which our ordinary standards are inapplicable.

The final test of a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, of anything else which we cannot define.

an-she20 мая 2017 г.For human intercourse, as soon as we look at it for
its own sake and not as a social adjunct, is seen to
be haunted by a spectre. We cannot understand each
other, except in a rough and ready way; we cannot
reveal ourselves, even when we want to; what we
call intimacy is only a makeshift; perfect knowledge
is an illusion. But in the novel we can know people
perfectly, and, apart from the general pleasure of
reading, we can find here a compensation for their
dimness in life.114
