Νιετοσκα

by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Μανώλης Κορνήλιος (Translator)

Netochka Nezvanova--a 'Nameless Nobody'--tells the story of a childhood dominated by her stepfather, Efimov, a failed musician who believes he is a neglected genius. The young girl is strangely drawn to this drunken ruin of a man, who exploits her & drives the family to poverty. But when she is rescued by an aristocratic family, the abuse against Netochka's delicate psyche continues in a more subtle way, condemning her to remain an outsider--a solitary spectator of a glittering society. Conceived as part of a novel on a grand scale, Netochka Nezvanova remained incomplete after Dostoyevsky was exiled to Siberia for 'revolutionary activities' in 1849. With its depiction of the suffering, loneliness, madness & sin that affect both rich & poor in St Petersburg, it contains the great themes that were to dominate his later novels.

[...]Την αγάπη αυτή τήνε φοβόμουν. Δεν θα τολμούσα ποτέ μου να σ’ αγαπήσω. Στην αγάπη υπάρχει ένα αίσθημα αμοιβαιότητας, ισότητας κι εγώ δεν ήμουν άξιος γι αυτά. Κι έτσι έκρυβα κείνο που αισθανόμουν.[...]

[...]Έπρεπε να το ζήσω αυτό το μέλλον αφού πρώτα θα το γνώριζα μέσα στα βιβλία και θα το ερευνούσα μέσα στα ονειροπολήματά μου, στα φτερουγίσματα της ελπίδας μου, στις γλυκές συγκινήσεις της νεανικής μου ψυχής![...]

Ιδιαίτερο έργο του Ντοστογιέφσκι. Παρουσιάζει μια καθημερινότητα που παραπέει ανάμεσα στη φτώχεια και στον πλούτο σε μια Ρωσία που διψά για αίμα και δόξα.
