Books The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, The Stranger by Albert Camus
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky: This profound 19th-century Russian novel explores complex themes of faith, doubt, free will, morality, and family through the story of the Karamazov brothers—Dmitri, Ivan, and Alexei—and their dissolute father, Fyodor Pavlovich. The plot centers on the murder of their father, with Dmitri initially accused of the crime amidst family rivalries and intense philosophical debates. Each brother represents different aspects of human nature: Dmitri is passionate and impulsive, Ivan is intellectual and skeptical, and Alexei is spiritual and kind. The novel delves into deep ethical and existential questions intertwined with a gripping murder mystery.
White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky: This short romantic story is about a lonely young man living in St. Petersburg who one night meets a mysterious woman named Nastenka. Over four nights, they share stories and dreams, and he falls deeply in love with her, despite knowing their connection may be fleeting. The narrative captures themes of longing, imagination, and unrequited love.
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka: This novella tells the story of Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. The surreal and existential tale explores themes of alienation, identity, and the human condition, focusing on Gregor's physical and emotional isolation from his family and society.
The Stranger by Albert Camus: This existential novel follows Meursault, a detached and indifferent French Algerian who lives devoid of conventional emotions. After committing an unpremeditated murder, he faces a trial not so much for his crime but for his emotional indifference and refusal to conform to social expectations. The story explores absurdism, the meaninglessness of life, and the confrontation with death.
