How did he get to be such an illustrious writer? Was it an innate

You'll think I'm memeing but it's because of men like Dosto that I believe in the soul. Talent like that is God-given, bro.

He didn't actually write any of his work. A former serf of his named Tyronius DeShaunalov Jamalovich wrote almost all of his work, but because he was black, he couldn't get published.

He wasn't brilliant, just ahead of his time.

Do you read much contemporary literature? If anything, he was so influential that contemporary writers are still influenced by him.

He had issues, highly neurotic, easily addicted, prone to overthink things, but also very curious, insightful and productive during what I guess were periods of mania.
I just finished The Double and was floored. The way he gets into the head of a mentally ill person is insane. Of course, it was based on a lot of research and the final result took a lot of painstaking work, but he also had a way to present his vision in a way that's very convincing intuitively.
Keep in mind that that was one of his first works. Even before he was struck by life-changing events that supposedly roughened him up to become what he recognize him as today.

>>8751096
Do you want to know why?
Because the ideas about society he expresses were found to be good for social conditioning.
His point of view was what a particular group of nobility was waiting for. It was what they needed to promote to prepare for revolution.

Dostoyevsky was not a good writer. He was a whining narcissist with no real insight. His work was promoted for political reasons alone.

TL;DR - Reading Dostoyevsky turns you into a retarded faggot left winger. He was an instrument in levering populations into revolution by winding them up and setting their mood.

>>8751329
You are lost. Nothing can help you now.

He ended the show early, and then he showed some more Animaniacs reruns.

Sounds like some pol "redpilled" logic to me. So many internet posters talk about the left the way hitler talked about the Jews. In the us the word liberal is used as an insult now.
My point being is that kill yourself

I wish /pol/ were more famous but uhhhh.... guess what pal, the majority of us don't even know about 4chan, thanks for showing us how small your world is believing that anything right wing/conservative must automatically be some "redpilled liburrhal hate'ng Kay Kay Kay Natzeehs" from /pol/

(Which is funny because half of /pol/ is populated by your kind anyway)

Stereotypical as fuck. What are you even doing on 4chan btw? Gonna change the publics opinion one homosex post at a time?

Dostoevsky wrote against communism/socialism in Crime and Punishment and Notes From Underground. If you'd actually have read him you'd probably realize this, but I understand reading is hard when you have to see so many trump memes XD

>>8751480
No he didn't. He was a Christian commie.

You are an idiot, completely missed a point and know nothing about Dostoyevsky. He despised leftists, and they despise him.

Never change /lit/

>Dostoevsky wrote against communism/socialism in Notes From Underground.
I'm not sure we've read the same book desu

>>8750798
Dosto wasn't the smartest intellectual ever, but he had a good grasp of presentation and prose, plus, he was prolific as fuck (even if not by choice).
So basically, even if another writer were to have a better grasp on "Notes From the Underground"'s main character or "Crime and Punishment"'s, his work would still be better, because he showcases their thoughts really well.

In C&P Sofya/Sonya is the personification of christian love.
Dosto is the fuckin poster boy for the orthodox church.
I'm not even going to get started in The Brothers Karamazov. I have better things to do.

>Dostoyevsky as left-winger

Look into his feud with Turgenev, who actually was a left winger. Also Look at Demons.
Dostoyevsky was left-leaning earlier in his life, but he underwent a profound shift later on. This ties in too with his Slavophilic, anti-European orientation in his later years

>>8750798

His early writings really don't compare to what he wrote later on for the most part. His one early work that I think stands among his best is The Double, and one could argue that its merit owes much to Gogol. What really made him as a writer was his decade of tribulation that began with his arrest and mock-execution and continued in penal servitude. After all of that (and not even right away) he really found his voice and his depth of insight

This is what I got the feeling for. Dostoevsky was against atheistic communism, but Christian communism is what he supported.

If one has truly understood Dostoevsky, they would see that his work in now way promotes a liberal agenda, but if anything, rather suggests that politics is futile and worldly and that no political ideology is worth any praise - and that regardless of whether you're an atheist or a theist.

I'm convinced he was a serious anti-semite. Come on, you can't blame him. I'm his writing, there's always the occasional reference to them, but in a negative way.

>>8752616
o-okay, s-s-senpai

>>8751058
Yeah. I heard Dostoevsky was illiterate and couldn't even write his own name. Truly sick how history has been whitewashed like dis.

>>8754040
Those are the characters of the time referring to them in a historically accurate way. It says nothing about his own views on them. But so what if he was?
