The main character is a guest at a Christmas party, and is watching the children having a good time. Another guest, not a nice guy, upsets a couple of kids. Flash forward five years, and a wedding is taking place. It’s not a happy affair. I’m not sure what Dostoevsky is trying to prove with this tale, but it is the opposite of acwarm and happy Christmas tale. Not my cup of cocoa!

The wedding was nice, I liked it very much; but the other incident was better. I don’t know how it was that, looking at that wedding, I thought of that Christmas tree. A moralistic vignette of such meagre proportion that this is almost a non-event; a mere line-sketch of adults' manipulations of the young. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian novelist and writer of fiction whose works, including Crime and Punishment (1866) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), have had a profound and lasting effect on intellectual thought and world literature. His literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man," was named by Walter Kaufmann as the "best overture for existentialism ever written. " His characters fall into a few distinct categories: humble and self-effacing Christians, self-destructive nihilists, and rebellious intellectuals; also, his characters are driven by ideas rather than by ordinary biological or social imperatives. His other works include: Poor Folk (1846), The Village of Stepanchikovo (1859), The Insulted and Humiliated (1861), The House of the Dead (1862), The Gambler (1867), The Idiot (1869), The Possessed (1872), The Raw Youth (1875) and A Writer's Diary (1873).
