That's interesting didn't know that, as a massive Dostojevski fan Im glad that Nietzsche also has fantastic taste in novels 😁

[Ario]

Isn't it so fitting that Notes from the Underground is the first dosto book nietzsche read?

I discovered Dostoyevsky through Japanese manga actually one of my favorite mangakas was Osamu tezuka whom drew and wrote 600 comics. One of them was a illustrated version of Crime and Punishment. When I first saw the title I grew curious and looked it up. Without even reading it fell in love with the synopsis yes the bloody synopsis I didn't even read the novel. I began making my characters similar to Raskolnikov in my writing. Then eventually I found it at a book store a notes from the underground that was first taste of actual Dostoyevsky and I loved it so much I shared it with others. Then eventually I found a movie based upon crime and punishment and that forced me to start reading and with that I managed to read a ebook version of crime and punishment then I read the idiot, the gambler and now I'm going to read the brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky is a literal journey.

I don't know if Nietzsche could have been a great novelist also but for sure he could have been a amazing short story writer, his literally skills where amazing.

You often wonder who was never discovered

"This shit bussin. He just like me fr fr"

I find this oddly heartwarming considering many people would assume he’d have the opposite reaction

[drrameshshrink]

Three independent geniuses of Existentialism Doestovsky, Nietzsche and Kiekergard none of whom know the works of the other, but still came down to similarly principles, mostly.

Notes From the Underground is first book I’ve read where my mind never wandered between lines. Basically, a natural cure for “ADHD.”

[alexsveles]

He discovered it by accident.And in a French translation.but he was so impressed by it that he called it the greatest pile of gold he ever stumbled across.nietsche wrote before geoneology of morals.
He was interested in that Transenedent man(man above morality )…he called it the ubermensh.
The ideas of Dostoyevsky and nieatsche are similar and basically kickstarted the Existentalist philosophy troughout the European continents…eventually emerging in America canada Australia Asia as well.I just recently visited AsIan Dostoyevsky/Nieatsche Society

[gladysibarra]

Society and normal people doubt themself when they encounter a genius. But a genius would never mistaken a genius for a commom man even if it doesn't know it yet. He or she it's simply drawn to it because it's recognizes in it the same essence he or she posesses.

I wonder if Nietzsche knows Dostoevsky had been writing about him, calling his philosophy problematic lol

[hilmar]

God told Nietzsche to read Schopenhauer 😂

[c.galindo]

Cool. It would have been great if they both encountered each other at one point. Would have been an extremely marvelous match with them two sharing their philosophies between each other

[eggvi]

Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche have almost opposing beliefs in their philosophy, it seems bizarre he really thought so high of his work.

[solxfae]

There is a very well done podcast by Martyr Made where he outlines the lives of Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche bringing into light the similarities between the two men. I highly recommend

[__VR__]

Two of my favourite philosophers of all times!😍

[carlloeber]

What's really crazy about these two men is that they both experienced or wrote about a nervous breakdown precipitated by the extremely abusive beating of a horse..

[Torgo]

We remember that reading Schopenhauer had a massive effect on the life and worldview of Leo Tolstoy.
