Finally got to use the gift card I got for Mother‘s Day 😊
pickRecently I read the first part (as it was included in a book of Existentialist philosophers) and decided to go ahead and complete it.
As a work of fiction it is a tough read, being that it is essentially one long tirade. But as an audiobook narrated by George Guidall? It is fantastic. That‘s not to imply that it‘s not fantastic in both forms, but having it acted-and acted so expertly-greatly increased my comprehension
pick3⭐️ I like this new translation work; I cannot imagine reading this in verse 🙈 I wish that Gogol didn‘t burn some of the part 2. I‘m really curious what he had in mind for Chichikov‘s ending. What‘s the original plan? How would it end in part 3?
All that Gogol mentioned here about society is still relevant today. We have not changed after all, and this was written in 1840s.

pickPublished in 1864, this novella delves into the psyche of a nameless narrator, often referred to as the "Underground Man." The work is divided into two parts. The first part provides a monologue that critiques society and human nature, expressing his deep-seated bitterness, isolation, and a sense of intellectual superiority. He rejects the idea of a utopian society, believing that suffering and irrationality are inherent to human existence. 5⭐️
Epilogue C3
When they began to fill in the grave, he suddenly began to point worriedly at the falling earth…and he suddenly fell quiet. At that point they reminded him that he must crumble the crust of bread, and he grew terribly agitated, whipped out the crust and began to break it in his fingers, throwing the morsels about the little grave: ‘Now come flying, little birds, now come flying, little sparrows!‘ he muttered, worriedly.
Epilogue, C2
‘Well, so this is what I have decided, Alyosha, listen!‘ he began again, having suppressed his excitement. ‘Grusha and I will go there – and at once we shall till the land, work, with the wild bears, in solitude, somewhere as far away as possible. After all, there too there will be a place that is far away!"
