Crime and Punishment — Page 4

English → Korean Preface Level 8/10

In the words of a Russian critic, who seeks to explain the feeling inspired by Dostoevsky: "He was one of ourselves, a man of our blood and our bone, but one who has suffered and has seen so much more deeply than we have his insight impresses us as wisdom... that wisdom of the heart which we seek that we may learn from it how to live.

도스토예프스키에 대한 감정을 설명하려는 한 러시아 비평가의 말을 빌리자면: "그는 우리 중의 한 사람이었고, 우리와 피를 나눈 형제였지만, 우리보다 훨씬 더 깊이 고통받고 보아온 사람이었기에 그의 통찰은 우리에게 지혜로 다가옵니다... 우리가 삶을 배우고자 구하는 바로 그 마음의 지혜로.

All his other gifts came to him from nature, this he won for himself and through it he became great.

그의 다른 모든 재능은 천성으로부터 주어진 것이었지만, 이것만은 그가 스스로 쟁취한 것이었고, 그것을 통해 그는 위대해졌습니다.
