A full-length novel by Russian author F. Dostoevsky. Published in 1872. The direct motivation for writing this novel was the "Nechayev Incident" in 1869, in which Ivanov, a student at Moscow's Agricultural University, offered to leave a revolutionary secret society and was brutally murdered by his comrades, led by Nechayev. The story was based on this incident and the characters in it. At the heart of the novel is the theme of "atheism," which the author had been nurturing for some time. The novel is an extremely original work, with magnificent artistic depictions of Stepan, an idealistic liberal from the 1940s; his student Stavrogin, a superhuman type with demonic intellect and contradictory ideas; Stepan's son Peter, leader of the Gang of Five; Shatov, who is assassinated as a traitor; and Kirillov, who preaches the idea of man as a god and tries to become a god by committing suicide.Evil spiritSource: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
ロシアの作家 F.ドストエフスキーの長編小説。 1872年発表。 69年にモスクワの農業大学の学生イワーノフが革命秘密結社脱退を申出たことによって,ネチャーエフを首領とする同志に惨殺されたという「ネチャーエフ事件」が執筆の直接的動機となり,この事件とその人物たちをモデルとして書かれた。根底には,作者が以前から暖めていた「無神論」のテーマが横たわる。 40年代の理想主義的リベラリストのステパン氏,その教え子で悪魔的な知力と矛盾する思想をいだいた超人タイプのスタブローギン,ステパン氏の息子で5人組の首領ピョートル,裏切者として暗殺されるシャートフ,人神思想を説き,自殺することによってみずから神になろうとするキリーロフなどのみごとな芸術形象を創造したことによって,きわめて独創的な作品となっている。
