You must be a literature professor. And yes, a video on how to read difficult books would be great. Very much enjoy your channel.
Alas, I am not a professor. But I do love books and studying them. Thanks for watching my channel. I will get onto making that other video.
This school Russia program 😂
This video is INCREDIBLE! You tied everything together so well. It can be a challenge to make all the connections in a Dostoevsky book, so thank you for doing that and encouraging everyone to eork at it. It really is so worth it. (And thank you for shouting out my video 😱 That was so generous!!)
Thanks Christy. Your video was superb. I really enjoyed the progressive steps to expect with Dostoevsky, that was terrifically observant of you. As for the shout out, you are more than welcome. You and your channel are awesome. And I mean that genuinely, not as just a nice thing to say. I really enjoy your videos. (I just wish I had more time to watch more of them😀)
You are absolutely right that word "prestuplenie" (crime) is close to "prestupat'" an old word that is not exactly used anymore meaning "to cross over the line" or "step over something". And this plays wery well when reading original version because this underlaying tone of the word meaning just adds to the pfilosofical understanding of the whole theme.
Thank you for this extra bit of detail, Lina. I appreciate it.😃❤
the decameron on his back in the library while explaining crime and punishment brang a smile on my face for a moment
I recently purchased _Crime and Punishment_ and now I'm even *more* excited to get to it! 📚 Thanks for this wonderfully thorough, non-spoilery 😬 and informative synopsis! 👏🏻 I appreciate the suggestion of making notes as you read it because that's something I don't do. 🙄 And yes, a video on _how to read difficult books_ would be wonderful! 🤓
I hope you love it, Lu. It's definitely a book to pace yourself with. Also, I do think I've refrained from any real spoilers. What I'm interested in is what you make of the epilogue. Will you be pro or con??? 😃👍
Can’t wait to read this, but have been bingeing your “100 Books You Must Read” videos and now want to read 5 or 6 books NOW! Yes, would love a video on how to read difficult books.
Love all those books on your shelf. All the vintage and classic novels.
Now, C&P moves up my TBR ☺
Oh, yes I would like to see your videos on how to read difficult books. I loved this video. I am currently reading Notes from Underground and enjoying the experience. Thanks Tristan . 😃
I've not read that one yet. But I I tend to read all of his works.
My 9th graders are required to read this book as part of AP European History. I so appreciate this lecture.
Once again, you put so much enthusiasm into your videos about classics, that I am keen to reread this. I read it quite a few years ago but did not enjoy it. However my appreciation of classics has greatly improved over the last ten years and I am better able to get a lot more out of these books. Your videos certainly help. Thank you.
Thank you Pauline. It's funny how timing plays an important role in a book. You can come at a book years later and it speaks to you in a completely new way.
Love your enthusiasm for the classics Pauline.
Hi! I'm here from Christy! Yes yes on a video on how to read more difficult books. I haven't read C&P yet but I own it and you make me excited to pick it up.
So pleased to meet you!!! Christy is amazing, isn't she? I hope that you like C&P as much as I did.😀
Yes Tristan, need the video on how to read such classics.
Lovely review! I personally love the epilogue. But I generally love well-tied endings in my books.
I listened to it the first time on audio, the old books on tape format. The narrator George Guidall (spelling) is one of the best. What a riveting experience! I then read the book after a good deal of time had passed. Your review is excellent as always! I love how you encourage readers to fully engage with the text.
You convinced me to purchase and download C&P to my Kindle, and I can’t wait to get started later today. 👍
Yes, I would love a video on how to read more difficult books.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.😃👍
Hi Tristan, thanks for this video. I read Crime and Punishment a few years ago, and loved it. You definitely made me want to read it again… one day ! So many books, so little time ! Take care 🙂
It is a superb book.👍😃
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Also your channel is really great. Keep up the good work!
It's a superb book. Thanks for the encouragement. 😃👍
I recognise the importance of Crime and Punishment, and it is a great book, but for me The Brothers Karamazov, Notes from Underground, and perhaps even The Idiot too, are all better and more memorable books. In fact, in my opinion TBK is the greatest novel of the 19th century.
TBK is considered the better book. But the hypothesis of it, is a continuation of the ideas first brought forth in C&P.
Thank you for this video, I read Crime and Punishment last year as part of a read a long and I wish I had heard this video first! There were so many points I would have taken my time on and understood more clearly. I loved the book and so far, anything by Doestoyevsky, but you made it even more special 🙂
Its a spectacular book isn't it? And it adjusts with your life experience.
Ooh! I’m actually reading that one now. It is so good!
I re-read this novel quite recently. And I did it with the pen - and as a result the whole book is full of underlined fragments (almost on every page 😆) By the way, it was the third time of my reading this novel - the first one was at school (as it is included in the school programme), the second one was at the university - as soon as I studied literature and was to read it for the lessons) and finally for the third time - I read it completely for myself. These readings happened with great time intervals between them but I should say the book entirely absorbed me all the 3 times.
I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying your videos!!!
A great video, thanks for sharing.
Last year I tried to read Crime and Punishment but had to put it aside, I wasn't in the right mind for a book like this. I appreciate the tip on how to go into it. Definitely, I will give this novel another chance.
I would like a video on how to go into a "difficult" novel.
Really Tristan thanks so much for your hard work, really appreciate it 😊
C&P is a book one needs to be ready for. It's not a light read, is it?😃
My pleasure to make these videos, Charmaine. It's nice to know they are enjoyed by some😃❤
Tristan, always love seeing a new vid from you! 🙌🏼
Hey, Book Hunter!!! Great to hear from you. Hope you are well.😃👍
I have read this twice and agree it is an amazing, thought provoking book. Another re read I am sure would give even further thoughts and perspectives.
It is superb. Have you read Brotgers Karamazov. It's a kind of follow up on C&P.
@@tristanandtheclassics6538 it's on my TBR for this year.
Crime and Punishment was fantastic, and it was the first Russian novel I read and what got me interested reading a lot more....next was Anna Karenina. Another great novel. Reading War and Peace now.
It is great and so is Anna K. I hope to go through War and Peace too this year.
This was my first Dostoevsky but I didn't approach it how I wish I had. I've been wanting to reread it and hoping to do so soon. Dostoevsky is one of my favorite writers because he really makes me think.
And yes, I would like a video with some of your thoughts on ways to approach more difficult books. One big thing I've been doing is going more slowly - a few chapters a day where I really try to think about things and take notes or mark the book. It has helped a lot. I would like to be able to read through once like that, look for commentary, and then read again. There's so little time to do that with a lot of books though.
I so agree with you Courtney. Thinking about the story, steeping oneself in it, is infinitely more rewarding than sprinting through and missing the scenery.
Dostoevsky is great. I have plans this year to go over his works.
Awesome video! Made me want to re-read the book :)
Great. It's definitely a re-read.
Just finished re-reading this masterpiece for the first time in 30 years. Whilst I partially agree with you about the epilogue, I get the feeling he was intending to carry on the tale in a sequel of sorts. I also think Sonya is one of Russian Literature's finest female characters, one that most of us are not fit to kiss her feet!
Sonya is wonderful. She is the perfect retort to Rashkolnikov's academic blindness which misses the human in us all.
You are probably correct about the epilogue, but I feel it would have been better not to write it if it wasn't done fully.
Brothers Karamozov is the true sequel to C&P. Its there that he finishes his exploration.😀
I loved Crime and Punishment the second time I read it. Wow, started Resurrection, grabs you at once.
I just finished the book so your video came at the perfect moment for me. thanks. I loved the book . And I thought the epilogue was really unnecessary too. I didnt even really like reading through it to be honest. For me the story was less about the conclusion of the story and the literal punishment Raskolnikov receives and more about the punishment that he and others put him through along the way. In my opinion the ending where he confesses is perfect and there is no need (for me atleast) to know any further than that. You just imagine that part for yourself. (sorry for spelling or grammar errors my first language is german)
Ps. I also red the book in german and the word for "crime" is "Schuld" wich is closer translated with "guilt", "fault", "blame" or something like that.
Great comment. The problem with the epilogue, for me, is that it tells the reader what moral conclusion to come to. I believe it was his editor that asked him to write the epilogue.
when it comes to psychological dostoievski is the god of this slice of literature. not even tolstoi can match him
What I find disquieting is how little it seems to bother Raskolnikov that he killed the innocent Lizavetta!
I know!!! I thought it peculiar too. There was I thought that did strike me about it. Once a "superman" begins breaking the binds of morality by destroying those they consider unfit, it will inevitably lead to the murder of the innocents too. Perhaps Rashkolnikovs reacting was a mark of desensitisation.
Just a thought. I can note a few potential problems with this idea, but it would be a starting point in explaining the anomalous behaviour you point out.
My friend, you forgot Christies link to her channel
Thanks for that. I've fixed the issue now.
Well read is to penetrate the work?
Also the word that comes to mind when considering the word "crime" in Russia (though a tad generic) is "deviation". That's what it sounds like to me.
Deviation is an interesting idea. I'm not Russian, nor do I speak it, my comments come from research and speaking to Russian readers about this word. They tell me it literally means to 'Step across.' It has the idea then of moving beyond some defined parameter that is considered inviolable. So, 'violation', perhaps more than deviation would seem to fit. One can deviate, in English at least, without transgressing.
As I say though, my comments are by no means to be taken as gospel.
As for 'Well read.' To be well read to have a lot of knowledge acquired from a breadth of reading. I tinkered with the phrase to highlight a point. Much knowledge from reading broadly is lost, or missed, because many are in a hurry to get things read. It is better to allow the book to sink in, in my opinion, than to scramble to read more if that reading doesn't expand our understanding. 😃👍
@@tristanandtheclassics6538 I don't speak it either but it was interesting the way you put it. I bought Crime and Punishment but on ebook. I was planning on reading that and then follow it with The Brothers Karamazov. I forget where I heard it but someone on booktube recommended I read it in that order. I don't know if it was you but I think I might just do that.
Hi, thanks for your incredible explanations! May I ask you a question about "Crime and punishment" and "Richard II"? I saw your video about Richards Hollow Crone Speach and your interpretation of Richard as king and man. Can there be a similarity between Richard II and Raskolnikov? In their image of being? Richard as king of divine will and Raskolnikov as a better human being like "Napoleon" on a higher level than normal people. Great to hear what do you mean for that. Sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language. Greetings from Germany !
Classics book club proposal in future ? 😊
Hey Tristan, is this video spoiler free? If it's not I would rather watch it after reading the book. Thank you!
This is a tough one to answer. There are no major spoilers in the video, unless you know literally nothing about what the story is about. However, I do mention things that happen to other characters which are central to their lives but not what I personally would term, spoilers.
That said, if you want to go in blind, maybe best not to watch this one yet 😉
After you have read it though, you may want to check out my other video of this book, which is far more in depth than this one.😃👍
what happened to the other good ( around 40 minutes long video ) where you review Crime and Punishment? ( the one you did when outside was raining...)
oops OK...found it back...but still why a second - much shorter- review? the first one is simply exellent
I am now trying to join your discord group however it seems the link has expired. Would you be able to send another link.
Thanks for that.
Try now
lol why u calling him Rashkolnikov?
For anyone who already has a moral code, this book is an absolute waste of time.
Why do you say so? 😮
@@DroidEnaamo It's been a minute since I read this, but it's like being involved personally in the planned murder of someone. Actually inside their head. I didn't need to read this to know murder is wrong. I read afterward that society in early Russia was quite depraved, and that they were the audience of this, and that was the moral lesson.
@@hoochrocks I get my morals from Religion, I see murder, stealing etc as horrible acts
So I most likely won't get anything valuable out of it, I can still read the book for the sake of entertainment though right?
@@DroidEnaamo I suppose. It made me feel weird, as this type of writing is psychological, and makes you feel like the murderer.
@@hoochrocks okay forget about entertainment then, I'll read it just for the sake of gaining new vocab 😂
