I am a librarian at one of the best library in Aisa. I see your videos and also we take your recommendations seriously and use those in book of the week❤
Considering the pinnacle of art that Bo Burnham's "Inside" and the movie "Jaggi" holds in my own experience, and now seeing Dostoevsky's Demons being compared to those, makes me want to read it so much. But my reading self has been comatose for a while. Hopefully, he will come back to life soon. 😔🤞
Have read it. Such a massive work by Dostoevsky. He completely dives into the human psychology and presents every tiniest thing. Also his "Notes from underground".
Roskolnikov is probably one of the best sociopathic character written ever….deotovesky just dives deep in the mind of how people think.its sad he didn’t get recognition when he was alive
Got this recommendation from couple of folks and thinking of starting it. One of the reasons why I had been avoiding Russian classics (and for that matter any foreign author) is because of the translation. I find it almost impossible to believe that the works narrated in a language retain their complete essence when translated to English. So comes the second question of, translator, because you have to admit, a book becomes as good as its translator and not the author. So that being said, now that I have decided to give it a try, which of the below translators would you recommend. • Demons (Penguin Classics, 2008). Translated by Robert A. Maguire • Demons (Vintage, 1995). Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. • Demons (Penguin Classic, 2001). Translated by Garnett Constance.
last year, I picked crime and punishment and I remember how tormented I was while reading about raskolnikov. Could'nt read more than 15 pages a day coz it would all get pretty heavy, needless to say the storyline wouldn't move an inch but that was okay to me. At last I was quite pissed by the character that I made it a point to only read the last few pages in internet summary... kinda to show my anguish to dostoevsky, I was pissed at him and his genius that I couldn't read him anymore. I don't even remember much of the book, I only remember I was pissed and tired and my brains were palpitating.. made a pact after that, only one dostoevsky a year, Or else I'll be the depressed-ass Rodya.
My first Dostoyevsky is crime and punishment and after reading first 50 pages I feel lost.I thought The caveat is in me to understand the plot but ig there are few like out there..hope I can read whole book sm day
Why are Indians so obsessed with Dostoevsky, Kafka. I've tried reading both(Notes from Underground and metamorphosis) and found they induce claustrophobia (I already have some anxiety issues). Though I read a lot(e.g Moby Dick, Jon Krakauer and much more and is proud member of two book clubs in Jaipur). If one starts suffering from mild Agoraphobia, one should know where to look. The future may be uncertain(Jobs, Marriage, Children, Misogyny and more) and confusing but do Dostoevsky has a cure.
It is the most sarcastic of all Dostoevsky's books 😇Right from the first page, that character Verkhovensky senior, who was once a revolutionary and lives off that fact for the rest of his life - it is just too much. But it is also distinctly anti-Communist, more than 50 years before the Russian revolution, Dostoevsky saw through Communism, knew it would be a disaster....
uhm, okay kitaabi cabins you got me there, I must return to the bookstore and buy another book. and fill it with annotations. esp, Dostoevsky. wish me luck.
Heyy, I am also reading Demons and honestly this book is so dense sometimes and still it manages to strike something in the back of my little brain. next I want to read the mammoth by FD…The Brothers Karamazov. Could you please please make a video about how to read it specially as a non-christian Indian?
I’m about to start my journey with Dostoevsky and would love some guidance on the best reading order. Could you recommend a sequence to fully appreciate his works, from early novels to his most renowned masterpieces? Thanks in advance!
The UA-cam algorithm has become invasive, i have only ordered the book "crime and punishment" except that i have not even typed the word crime and punishment on my phone together but somehow out of nowhere this video popped up on top of the home tab of youtube. I don't know how to react to this kind of sorcery. 😶
I have just one question, how should a person read Dostoevsky. I tried "Crime & Punishment" but i didn't able to catch the essence of the book. Probably read 30 pages and discouraged. So my question is how should someone start reading him and understand what is he trying to convey?
I'm not a book reader at all and cp was my first ish book and i found that I had it easier cuz I had the pavear translation of the book, if possible you might want to switch. It was the best book for me. Tho the writing style is pretty confusing since it isn't mentioned who is speaking Many times
I dont like to read books 📚 , mujhe kabhi pasand nahi thi books padhna. But mai videos k form me chijeo ko dekhna and sunna pasand karta hu , chahe vo 10hours ki bhi kyu na ho. Kya aisa koi plateform hai jaha books ko videos /stories k form me present kiya jata ho?
If you have enjoyed this, try insulted and humiliated or The Idiot, and when you're done with these two, do a Notes from the underground 🤘 Just one thing against the guy, if only he could have had lesser number of characters and maybe a little simpler and not similar sounding names of characters
but why to appreciate ? just get some knowledge and leave. low testoseterone buddy. dont be desparate for it. people like us represent men community which doesnt win medals and trophies in sports, no big tech companies in india. instead we do this 2nd aaj kal kitabo me b soft porn bech rhe h sb romanticism k naam pe. non fiction pdho itne he staunch book reader ho toh.
Read at your own risk guys, this books are not for everybody, i am not saying you got less cerebrum but a book should be enjoyed if it becomes a memory hogg leave it, there are so many books and so less time to read.
Hey ! I read Crime and Punishment and The Idiot last year and I loved it. I kinda fell into a reading slump for almost 1.5 month but I later recovered. Also I am currently 50 pages away from completing The Brothers Karamazov which is another thick brick by Dostoevsky. Loving it so much. I also saw White Nights trending on bookstagram and I read it but what I felt reading his other (thicker) books was somewhat missing in it. I read Notes from Underground and The Meek One by him in 2022 and those were also nice and beginner friendly. You may also pick up books by Leo Tolstoy if you're loving reading Dostoevsky. 😊
I had a youtube channel two years ago. I used to post my literary explorations and insights in form of videos just like you. I don't why, no one really supported me, no comments no engagment, even the readers were not watching or even sharing me their thoughts about what should I change to improve. Then as I turned 19, I realized, Reading books and changing my own life is a better approach then making it a fashion show on youtube. Thus, I deleted my channel, now I spend hours reading novels and philosophy. But recently, I created a phony YT account, I used Female AI voice and BOOOMMMMM. It has a pretty good reach, and it also got monetized recently. I guess, I now know what is selling and what not.
I find that the people who go deep in literature, have multiple brain in one And they end up bieng more complex...This was just my thoughts please don't take it the other way
Thank you kitabi cabins.😊 I request here all to read books of ACHARYA PRASHANT, your life will change.Some recommendations: 1)Infinite potential-ACHARYA PRASHANT💪 2)Women's revolution-ACHARYA PRASHANT 📚 3)Climate change -ACHARYA PRASHANT🌍
why this channel doesnt promote indian ancient novels like mahabharata critical edition, original valmiki ramayan, and many other versions of ramayan, books of kabir , ramcharitmanas, tamil literature like alai osai , Kalidasa literature which is placed equal to shakespeare, and many others. I think We should also know about us and include western or russian philosphy . They promote their books, we read them and praise them but we fail to recognize our own. i think we are still enslaved by them.
Well for starters its her channel and she gets to decide what books to promote and which topics to discuss on. You are welcomed to subscribed those channels which talks about our culture and books. There is nothing wrong in reading books apart from our culture, yeh enslaved wala mindset nikaldo bhaisahab, grow up

You calm style of talking about books in depth is wonderful.
Okayyy!! And a tour of your books behind you, please.
Charu Ji, you're that melancholia in my life which brings me the ultimate bliss.
Roskolnikov is probably one of the best sociopathic character written ever….deotovesky just dives deep in the mind of how people think.its sad he didn’t get recognition when he was alive
This girl's personality is as mesmerising as the book she is talking about, or more....
Glad someone is talking about Demons... Missed by many, but one of his most powerful works.

Watching Inside by Bo Burnham. Thank you for introducing that special to us and I will also be watching Jaggi afterwards.

I kinda feel same, i only read 45 pages & i thought is not the right time so i will try it some years later after reading some other classic's
The narrative becomes so dense that the impact of the previous scene is quickly lost, leaving the reader frustrated as hopes and expectations dwindle
My first Dostoyevsky is crime and punishment and after reading first 50 pages I feel lost.I thought The caveat is in me to understand the plot but ig there are few like out there..hope I can read whole book sm day
Incredible Charu ❤😍👏🏻👏🏻

I had just started crime and punishment. 2nd chapter is soo boring in but after 15 boring pages something start which takes a whole dark turn❤
the degree of articulation.. damn

Another charu's recommendation LESGO 🚀
Using tarkovsky's films as a background while talking about dostoevsky is so legit
uhm, okay kitaabi cabins you got me there, I must return to the bookstore and buy another book. and fill it with annotations. esp, Dostoevsky. wish me luck.

Crime and Punishment got me into reading.
I find that the people who go deep in literature, have multiple brain in one
And they end up bieng more complex...This was just my thoughts please don't take it the other way
True! I read daily & I feel one needs to be mentally strong to read so that one can enhance one's character instead of making it complex.
