«„Двойник“: двое лучше, чем один». Лекция филолога Ивана Чернышова

The first lecture in the "Dostoevsky the Unobvious" series Is the widespread belief that Dostoevsky is a stern moralist and the author of depressive novels correct? In this lecture series, we will attempt to look at the classic author's work from a different perspective: we will recall his comic characters, reread his innovative early prose, which Belinsky misunderstood, attempt to find answers to the "final questions" in the author's drafts, and even "find the human within the human" in characters like Stavrogin and Svidrigailov. "The Double" is a work by the young Dostoevsky in which the classic author's leitmotifs first appear: the destructive, tragic duality of man and the intense search for one's own self. Many questions arise while reading the story. Is the double real, and how many doubles are there in the story? Why does the double appear, and why does it terrorize Mr. Golyadkin? Let's try to answer these and other questions and appreciate the complexity and beauty of this story. Lecturer: Ivan Chernyshov, PhD in Philology, writer, and author of the short story books "Working on Mistakes" and "Health and Discipline." The lecture series is part of the "Nineteenth" project.
