Dostoyevski, Fiodor

Considerada una de las joyas más inquietantes de Dostoievski, esta novela corta encierra una tempestad emocional y una de las exploraciones más mordaces sobre la culpa, el deseo y la humillación jamás escritas.

Dostoyevski, Fiodor

Estamos ante una obra maestra de la literatura universal. Una pieza breve, pero profundamente intensa y certera. A través de sus páginas se destilan razonamientos filosóficos de un hondo calado, envueltos en un pesimismo que refleja el espíritu dolorido y errante de Dostoievski y, por ende, de la psique humana en ciertas coyunturas. Dividido en dos partes muy diferenciadas; en...
