It is enough to have a weak heart for joy to turn into a monster. This early work by Dostoevsky investigates psychological abysses. Delirium comes when one passes from a tragic event, but what if the trauma is unmanageable happiness? Vasya has a tender heart; every event sinks into this tenderness. But when too much happiness comes, something unexpected happens. Vasya is about to get married to a maiden he loves very much, and he tells his friend with whom he shares the room where he lives. Joy is an unusual condition for Vasya and leads him to melancholy and madness.
A dark, claustrophobic tale, dense with pathos and narrative tension. A new discovery for those who already know Dostoevsky and loved him; an excellent starting point for those who want to approach this extraordinary author.
