But Dostoevsky will have them talk about their sins and take pride in their base acts, all the more now t The title means 'little bean' and it is to be understood as 'nothing'. What will they talk about? I guess different authors will have them behave in different ways - some will have them repent. The premise which sounds more Gogol with its supernaturality than Dostoevsky is that recently dead and buried don't lose their consciousness but talk to each other lying in their graves during nights. The title means 'little bean' and it is to be understood as 'nothing'. Actually, they were about to be completely dead. I mean, meditation would be the right thing to do. A party of shameless degradation they started while living! The lowness of human condition appears even after death. These guys were willing to waste those months that were given to them, probably to think about their existence on Earth and find some sort of redemption. What this short story is trying to tell us-in my humble opinion-is that even dead, human beings are capable of depravity. Because lying is needed on Earth when you're dead, why would you care, right? Anyway, their crazy conversations were a delight to read. In order to do so, they were determined to cast aside all shame and be brutally honest. That's why these dead-not-so-dead people decided to spend those months as agreeable as possible. Yes, their consciousness was active for about three, even six months until they decomposed. I don't like some people here I can't imagine what it would be like to be in some cemetery, stuck with annoying people for three or four months and not being able to go away!īack to the book. However, we can't help to ask ourselves, during several moments of our lives, if death really is the final step or not. It's an interesting yet disturbing theme. An active conscience after death is a theme I already saw in The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. They played cards, they discussed among each other, they even shared anecdotes. They were aware of everything that surrounded them. I'd drop dead and end up under some tombstone in a heartbeat. He was all alone and he heard a conversation. Suddenly, he began to hear a conversation. Deep reflections about little details, I love that. Then, he sat on a tombstone and started to think about random stuff. not a place you'd go to have a picnic, I'm guessing. He complained about the cemetery, the smell, green water, the smiles of the dead that haunt his dreams. So, this book is about Ivan Ivanovitch, a frustrated writer that went to a funeral of some distant relative. In old days, once a year at any rate a fool would recognize that he was a fool, but nowadays not a bit of it. The wisest of all, in my opinion, is he who can, if only once a month, call himself a fool - a faculty unheard of nowadays. He wrote major works concerning the human condition, and they all seem to have been written yesterday. Bobok is another excellent example of this writer's talent to describe people's virtues and miseries. It's fascinating how a writer can say so much in a few pages.

Uma caricatura surreal e divertida da sociedade russa, retratada como um grupo de Almas Fedorentas! 😉

literature is full of pleasant surprises and Bobok, joshing Bobok, is definitely one of those! I always thought of humour and Dostoyevsky as oil and water, but. Dostoyevsky makes fun of the russian society, comparing it with a bunch of smelly souls! 🤪 īobok is somewhere between a cartoon and a classical short story. It seems to me that our usually so dramatic Fyodor is sounding much more like the sarcastic Nicolai in this one!. Dostoyevsky makes fun of the russian society, comparing it with a bunch of smelly souls! 🤪 I always thought of humour and Dostoyevsky as oil and water, but. Bobok is somewhere between a cartoon and a classical short story. Or a shrewdly disguised Gogol?! 😉 It seems to me that our usually so dramatic Fyodor is sounding much more like the sarcastic Nicolai in this one!. Smelly Souls What a delicious witty tale 👍 Is this the Dostoyevsky we all know?!.
