The truth may be stretched thin and not break, and it always floats on the surface of the lie, like oil and water

Pada hari ini, 11 November 1821, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky lahir. Saya sengaja memisahkan buku-buku karya Dostoevsky dari buku-buku lain, karena buku-bukunya memang pantas untuk mendapatkan tempat tersendiri. Happy Birthday, Dostoevsky! Karya-mu akan selalu abadi.

Four favourite László Krasznahorkai books: he’s not always easy, but his sentences and textures are divine, a mixture of beauty, hilarity and the grotesque. He’s rather extraordinary.

Petualangan Don Quijote ini pada awalnya mengundang tawa, di pertengahan menuntun pembaca untuk berpikir, tetapi pada akhirnya justru meninggalkan kesedihan.

The Brothers Karamazov. I last read it two years ago, when my father was dying. It comforted me and made that time, and the days after his passing, more bearable. I couldn’t have asked more of it.
not to be silly goofy but does anyone have any books that have actually helped them process grief? (for any reason at all)

I’d never seen this Holbein painting. It’s rather gruesome, as I suppose with the subject it should be. @FrannyMoyle wrote a fantastic biography of Holbein - I had no idea that Holbein struggled to make ends meet a lot of the time, despite being painter to the king
Sure, the publisher could’ve picked a better cover design, but the current one was clearly inspired by Holbein’s The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb, a painting central to the spiritual core of The Idiot.

The painting’s stark realism, depicting Christ as lifeless and human rather than divine, reflects deeply with the novel’s exploration of faith, doubt, and the fragility of human existence. This tension lies at the very heart of Dostoevsky’s vision in The Idiot.

Dostoevsky himself was profoundly affected by this painting when he saw it in Basel, reportedly staring at it in near distress.

Dostoevsky describes Myshkin’s reaction through narration rather than direct quotation, but his feelings are clear: "That picture! A man could even lose his faith from that picture!"

The painting explicitly appears in The Idiot (in Part II, Chapter 4) when Prince Myhskin sees Rogozhin’s copy of The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb, he reacts with shock and deep unease.

A Country Doctor karya Franz Kafka, cerpen cuma 7 halaman tapi nggak kalah ngeri dari The Metamorphosis. Cerita ini juga pernah diadaptasi jadi animasi. Habis baca, wajib banget nonton versi animasinya di sini: https://t.co/P3sq6oca6o
