What if a kind heart wasn't strong enough to survive the world? A Faint Heart follows the life of a shy, sensitive man named Vasya, who has just become engaged to the woman he adores. His friend, Arkady, is proud of him and hopeful for their future. But beneath Vasya's happiness lies deep anxiety, inner torment, and an unbearable pressure to live up to society's expectations. As the story unfolds, Dostoevsky takes readers on a heartbreaking journey into the unraveling of a fragile mind. The result is a tender yet devastating exploration of the line between joy and despair. This modern adaptation updates the language while honoring the emotion, style, and insight of Dostoevsky's original, making it easier to connect with today's readers. What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation: * A Tragic Love Story - Follow the journey of a man in love-and how fear and doubt pull him apart. * A Haunting Exploration of Mental Illness - Experience the slow and painful unraveling of a soul too sensitive for the world. * The Pressure of Social Expectations - See how bureaucracy, work, and duty become unbearable burdens for the emotionally fragile. * A Deeply Human Story - Reflect on friendship, compassion, and the quiet suffering hidden behind a smile. This edition remains true to Dostoevsky's vision while presenting the story in fluid, modern English. It's a perfect introduction to Dostoevsky's psychological depth-and a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) foi um romancista, contista, ensaísta e filósofo russo, cujas obras literárias exploram a psicologia humana no contexto da Rússia do século XIX. As suas principais obras, incluindo Crime e Castigo, Os Irmãos Karamazov e O Idiota, abordam temas como a moralidade, o livre arbítrio, a culpa e a redenção. A profunda influência de Dostoiévski na literatura e na filosofia existencial faz dele uma das maiores figuras literárias de todos os tempos.
