The other day while going through the morning edition of daily Jang Lahore, I came across a column by Ata-ul-Haq Qasmi. I was very much touched by innocence on one hand of the great Russian writer Dostoyevsky but learnt also anout his gamble mania, which even his beloved wife Anna could not make him leave. Am sorry the non Urdu people of WoP wouldn’t be able to enjoy its contents. Even if it’s translated in English may be it looses its charm.
In future, if we could get some good translator, we might be coming up with properly translated Urdu texts in English as well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky is a legend in world literature. He is the one who created many wonderful Russian novels like Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov & so many others. All these pieces earned him a world wide recognition and a following in the world of classical as well as modern literature.
Fyodor Dostoevsky a genius but to call him so may indeed be an understatement. Decade after decade, his literary brilliance continues to capture the hearts and minds of millions. Because of his legacy and intense, storied commentaries on religion, philosophy, and psychology, Dostoyevsky may have been one of the most important and influential writers that ever lived.
After all, it was Einstein that said: ”Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss.”
Tezuka illustrated his version of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s classic, Crime and Punishment, adapting this serious story for younger readers.
