Hoy les traigo un excelente libro, Memorias del subsuelo de Fyodor Dostoevsky, pero antes de comenzar, quiero aclarar, o mejor dicho, informar una buena y una mala noticia. La buena es que voy a tener una entrevista muy interesante a nivel personal y profesional para mí, con un autor que no puedo mencionar todavía y un personaje del cual él escribe en el libro, en el cual se van a discutir temas bastante interesantes, pero tendré que viajar. Eso añadido a ciertas situaciones personales me va a evitar publicar un episodio la próxima semana, que es la mala parte, pero dentro de dos semanas volveremos con el podcast. But going back to the book, as always, a context to the story and the author as such, Fyodor Dostoevsky.
I talked a lot about him in the summary we did a year ago, I think, of Crime and Punishment, his most famous work. But to talk here about certain points about his personal life, because this is a very political book. Very analyzing society or very showing flaws in certain thoughts about society. He was born in Moscow in 1821, more than 200 years ago, another time totally, from a Russian bourgeois family, high society, but his mother died at a very early age and his father, to give him a structure to his life, decided to enroll him in the military academy. This matters because there we almost lost Dostoevsky, he almost wouldn't have written if he had stayed in that academy, he decided to retire only to follow his passion.
by literature, and he writes his first novel, Poor People, as a literary debut that he had. Recognition, he put it on the literary map of Russia. Eventually, he begins to get involved in political activities. He was arrested for his association with a group of intellectuals who were criticizing the Tsarist regime, the Russian Tsars, who were oppressing the people, a lot of discrimination, a lot of inequality. And the interesting thing, and this we talk about in the summary of the crime and punishment, is that he was sentenced to death, he and other young people of the student era. And just on the day they were going to shoot him, he was already literally surrounded, waiting for them to kill him.
And the sentence was forgiven, it was commuted and he was sent to work forcibly in Siberia. He spent four years in Siberia in exile and from there he returns to Russia, but he was never the same. He already had problems that today we understand, at that time we did not understand, but he began to suffer from epileptic attacks, he passed out from time to time, he was traumatized, psychologically broken, and in the middle of madness he got the logic to write his books.
