people are just haters for no reason now bc a 13 y/o reading Dostoyevsky is literally a miracle. In an age where the youth is so disconnected from classical art and art in general, something to hook kids/young ppl onto it is so precious, and deserves praise.
no fr like wdym you're 13 and about to go buy one of dostoevsky's books.

Why dostoyevsky as an example? Out of all writers in BSD you chose the xenophobic and the most boring one😭😭😭😭/not neg to you, just as a person from country, which was colonised by russia for centuries that's hurtful

Well, sadly even art history is written by the victors and you can't really say a more famous, pretentious sounding classical lit name than his, I assume that's why they chose him. In modern eyes most of them are rather problematic for one reason or another, esp the western ones

I bought my first Dostoevsky book at 14 and every single one of my teachers were absolutely flabbergasted

I would read Alexander Dumas at a young age, did I understand most of the things said? No. But that's how people learn, they get into it and start understanding. Idk why people think it's such a crime for young people to read classic lit, it's very good!

Dostoevsky books isn't that bad for 13 y/o but hypothetically if we're talking about someone who just got into reading, i think they should read a more lighter topic to understand it better (not a children books obviously) but honestly, who cares? it's good that they're reading–

but a 13 year old wouldn't understand Dostoyevsky, wouldn't relate w the struggles of the protagonists, the book C&P has also very traumatic content like graphic animal suffering and murdr, probably not good idea to read that at 13.
