Making this thread because I'm wondering about a Russian book I saw talked about on here before. /lit/'s favorite character was a guy who decided he'd kill himself to die a martyr to prove God isn't necessary or some shit. Anyone know which book this was? 19th century, probably.
(Google gives me nothing)
Feel free to use thread to ask any other small questions that don't really deserve a whole thread.
Bump. Noone knows the book I mean?
The OP who made a thread about it said "[the character who commits suicide] is a qt".
Sounds like something out of Dostoevsky

Demons by Dostoevsky

Thinking of writing a main character who is good but also insane(not the violent type) because of what he has to deal with on a daily basis. Would the readers be turn of on such a character?
Kirilov or something from Demons by Dostoevsky
