Stavrogin's Confession

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the controversial suppressed chapters of Dostoevsky's work, which have fueled the dark legend surrounding him. Central to this narrative is Stavrogin's troubling confession of child abuse, often interpreted as reflecting Dostoevsky's own struggles. This edition features a brilliant translation by Virginia Woolf and S.S. Koteliansky, making it available in the U.S. for the first time. Additionally, it includes a psychoanalytic study by Freud and a historical account of the manuscript's publication by V. Komarovich.
