Crime and Punishment — Page 4
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.
Nas palavras de um crítico russo, que busca explicar o sentimento inspirado por Dostoevski: "Ele era um de nós, um homem do nosso sangue e da nossa carne, mas alguém que sofreu e viu tão mais profundamente do que nós, que a sua perspicácia nos impressiona como sabedoria... essa sabedoria do coração que buscamos para que possamos aprender com ela como viver.
All his other gifts came to him from nature, this he won for himself and through it he became great.
Todos os seus outros dons lhe vieram da natureza, este ele conquistou para si mesmo e por meio dele tornou-se grande.
