Tbh I did start reading Dostoyevsky when in a dark place and I think nothing helped me more to get out of it. Especially crime and punishment and the notes from the underground showed so much depths about my own psyche that honestly made me understand myself and in accepting and integrating the evil. If at all anything it made me a better person. Dostoyevsky gave me a convincing explanation for God despite himself giving valid arguments for atheism. I found the former more convincing. And I could just name more facets of my life reading Dostoyevsky and contemplating about it, changed. But yes, could work in different ways for different people. Great video though and much appreciations..🙏

Been searching for someone with insight on where to start with Dostoevsky’s work. Thank you

I don't agree with you saying that people in a dark place should not read him. It is helpful to know you aren't the only person to have ever lived to have such thoughts as his characters do.

I'm just getting into Dostoevsky; thanks for sharing your knowledge! This video is very insightful and I especially like that you go over different reading orders that one could follow depending on one's beliefs. Cheers, hope to see more videos from you!

Bro, you are on the path to wisdom. New sub.

Started with Crime/punishmt, which put me off not only Dostoyevsky but all Russian literature! That was about 16 or so years ago, as I had a preconceived idea that all Russian lit was depressing and about depressing subjects. 2years ago I tackled War/Peace and changed my mind, loved it. Since then I’ve been viewing YouTube and Book reviewers and got onto the Brothers K, which I am 1/2 way through and absolutely LOVING it, and now will definitely read his other Books. So yes thoroughly agree that there is an order to reading his amazing books.Thankyou for your very informative review

I like your opening on learning the life and times/adieu of Dostoevsky times.
That would help people to understand his writing better Most people only know of Dostoevskys top 5 books. However, He actually published 15 books. I find reading in order of his publications one can grow with Dostoevsky evolution in writing/ developing story lines.
Trivia not, The Brothers karamazov was to be a two parter. Unfortunately he died before he could complete the second book.
As for not reading Dostoevsky is you are in a Spiritual Dark place, I found him extremely helpful for me to have a Kindridge soul. Actually help me work through my own issues.
All that said. I enjoyed your video.

[jordanhouze]

very helpful video really appreciate the perspective

[DatRaccoon]

I’ve never read any of his books I’m looking forward to them and seeing your analysis of them.

[DanExploresBooks]

Really enjoyed your summaries of these books. Well done.

[ImToastAlso]

I love your enthusiasm and knowledge. Glad to have found your channel, and of course subscribed.

I read Dostoyevky when I was in school and in university everything in Russian, in my opinion it has obviously some depth and hiden senses. In my opinion the biggest sense is that your internal truth is the most important, but as author says it is dark criminal chronicles and it is how russians thinks, it is a good material to understand russians as they are

[OMGusGonzalez]

Great summary and great insight, dude! It sounds like you really captured what each individual novel was trying to say. Thanks for summarizing it all so well!

[DetectiveDrEli]

I love how you referenced Tolkien while discussing Dostoevsky. They're my top 2 favorite authors.

[tchan]

this is very helpful! Thanks! Also like the way you organised the presentation.

[alyoshazeifman]

Interesting analysis. Rather excessive discussion of order at the end. Just read them all in whatever order you like.

[stephenn]

What an amazing perspective! Thank you

[novica]

I've watched this video almost 1 year ago, and more or less followed the books order that you have proposed here.
White nights, Idiot and now reading Karamazov I
Just wow, it's really difficult to put into words how mindblowing this writer is

[enfermagembenfermagemb]

I watched this video months ago and it’s great. I’ve finally decided to start reading all of Dostoyevsky’s works as a Christian. I started with Poor folk since it was his work but I will follow your order of reading.
God bless ❤
