The Brothers Karamazov is the final novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, and is generally considered the culmination of his lifes work. Dostoevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger and completed in November 1880. Dostoevsky intended it to be the first part in an epic story titled The Life of a Great Sinner, but he died less than four months after its publication.The book portrays a parricide in which each of the murdered mans sons share a varying degree of complicity. On a deeper level, it is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, reason, free will and modern Russia. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which is also the main setting of the novel.

El jugador fue una novela escrita en momentos muy difíciles para su autor, envuelto en deudas de juego y perseguido por un editor que le exigía un original en una fecha so pena de enviar el contrato al juez. En estas circunstancias tan hostiles aparecio esta novela, en parte autobiografica y escrita, o mas bien dictada, a matacaballo, en 1866. Si la prosa de Dostoyevsky es ya de por si peculiar y alejada de la norma gramatical segun la critica rusa mas amable, aqui hay que añadir un nuevo componente que sin duda marco su creacion: cuando se encontraba en tan apurada situacion frente a su editor, Fiodor conoce a la que sera su futura esposa, Anna Grigorievna Snitkina, una experta taquigrafa que puso a disposicion del genio ruso sus habilidades laborales para finalizar el libro en tan solo 27 dias. La version de Cansinos Assens, directa del ruso, es de las mas afamadas. En Amazon encontrara otras traducciones, la mayoria sin firma del traductor, y alguna incluso revisada por correctores de estilo que facilitan mucho la lectura. Nosotros, a los lectores que buscan una experiencia mas cercana a la del original, recomendamos vivamente traducciones como las de Cansinos, no desvirtuadas por las modificaciones ortosintacticas tan de moda entre nuestras editoriales. Cansinos Assens sabia que la traduccion de una obra literaria a otra lengua es siempre un recurso muy limitado, pero en su papel de intermediario intento una labor honesta garantizada por muchas horas de esfuerzo. Como todas las ediciones de Arca Ediciones nuestra edicion presenta algunos leves cambios con respecto a la primera edicion publicada por Aguilar en 1935 (y corregida y aumentada en 1942). En el texto, ademas de haber sido adaptado a la norma actual de acentuacion, se han revisado aquellos usos idiomaticos desfasados que podrian ocasionar una lectura incomoda al lector de nuestros dias. Con estas minimas modificaciones conseguimos que las traducciones de Cansinos Assens mantenga su vigencia a lo largo de los años. Traduccion de Rafael Cansinos Assens.

Los Cuentos de Fiódor M. Dostoievski (Moscú, 1821-San Petersburgo, 1881) intentan abarcar todo el período de su actividad como escritor, desde sus comienzos literarios en 1845 hasta 1877, año en que comienza a escribir Los hermanos Karamazov. En estos cuentos, no por breves menos geniales que sus novelas, aparecen temas recurrentes en toda su obra: los estafadores estafados en la Novela en nueve cartas, el delirio de un avaro en El señor Projarchin, o la generosidad del pueblo ruso en El ladron honrado. Tambien en estos relatos su vena satirica y humoristica cobra mas fuerza. La mujer ajena y el marido debajo de la cama, Bobok o El cocodrilo son buen ejemplo de ello. Las historias que se incluyen en este volumen ofrecen al lector una vision amplia de la compleja personalidad artistica de este gran escritor ruso, que siempre considero su deber rehabilitar al individuo destruido, aplastado por el injusto yugo de las circunstancias, del estancamiento secular y de los prejuicios sociales.

THREE MASTER WORKS FROM THE OFFICIAL CHURCH OF SATAN READING LISTFrom the list originally published in Magistra Blanche Bartons The Church of Satan as approved by Magus Anton Szandor LaVey.THREE CLASSIC TEXTS FOR STUDENTS OF SATANISM AND THE OCCULT:THE BOOK OF LIES by Aleister CrowleyTeach us Your real secret, Master! how to become invisible, how to acquire love, and oh! beyond all, how to make gold.The esoteric masterpiece by one of the foremost mystics of all times. As Crowley describes it: "This book deals with many matters on all planes of the very highest importance. It is an official publication for Babes of the Abyss, but is recommended even to beginners as highly suggestive. Chapter 44 of the book describes the ritual named the Mass of the Phoenix. The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley, is a masterpiece of modern occult literature. There are numerous intriguing references: to the Tarot, the Qabala, astrology, Egyptian mythology, the "Left Hand Path," Masonry, the Beast of Revelation, sacred geometry, etc. Crowleys writing is often cryptic, often witty, often elegant. The book is also full of memorable quotes. Like the most enduring of occult and freethinking writers, Crowley challenges us to refocus our dulled organs of perception, and to rethink our stale mental conventions.THE ANTI-CHRIST by Friedrich NietzscheThe Antichrist (also could be translated as The Anti-Christian) was originally published in 1895. It was actually written in 1888 but its controversial content delayed its publication, along with Ecce Homo.Friedrich Nietzche (1844-1900) wrote The Antichrist (1888) after Thus Spake Zarathustra and shortly before the mental collapse that incapacitated him for the rest of his life. This work is both an unrestrained attack on Christianity and a further exposition of Nietzches will-to-power philosophy so dramatically presented in Zarathustra. Christianity, says Nietzche, represents "everything weak, low, and botched; it has made an ideal out of antagonism towards all the self-preservative instincts of strong life." By contrast, Nietzche defines good as: "All that enhances the feeling of power, the Will to Power, and power itself in man. What is bad? - All that proceeds from weakness. What is happiness? - The feeling that power is increasing, - that resistance has been overcome." NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND Fyodor DostoevskyNotes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground mans diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy. The second part of the book is called "Apropos of the Wet Snow", and describes certain events that, it seems, are destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator. Written in 1864, this novel is the first and strangest of Dostoevskys masterpieces--and the source of those that followed. Violating literary conventions in ways never before attempted, this classic tells of a mid-19th-century Russian officials breakaway from society and descent "underground."*Newly edited and revised text.*Handcrafted ...

From this book's opening pages, Dostoyevsky attaches us unreservedly to his hero, creating an intimacy that is claustrophobic, full of tension, and as haunting and relentless as a love affair. The novel is concerned with the psychology of a crime and the processes of guilt.

No hay nada de glamour en las salas de juego de la inquietante ciudad-balneario de Ruletenburgo; ni elegantes caballeros de modales refinados, ni vaporosas damas de belleza sin igual. Ni siquiera el brillo del oro apilado. Solo hay chusma continental: haraganes y golfillas, representantes de la sinvergonzoneria europea de alta alcurnia de la epoca. El ansia por conseguir dinero facil se disfraza de noble desden. Hasta que la turbacion generada por una joven rusa hace saltar por los aires las relaciones de todos. Ruina, demencia, odio, engaño y desengaño son solo algunas de las explosivas turbulencias que un hombre, Alexei Ivanovich, desencadena en un paraiso cogido con alfileres. En el proceso, afloran algunas de las mas agudas reflexiones del genial Fiodor M. Dostoievski, las cuales hoy provocarian a buen seguro mas de una queja ante las representaciones diplomaticas de media Europa.

MY DEAREST BARBARA ALEXIEVNA,How happy I was last nighthow immeasurably, how impossibly happy! That was because for once in your life you had relented so far as to obey my wishes. At about eight oclock I awoke from sleep (you know, my beloved one, that I always like to sleep for a short hour after my work is done)I awoke, I say, and, lighting a candle, prepared my paper to write, and trimmed my pen. Then suddenly, for some reason or another, I raised my eyesand felt my very heart leap within me! For you had understood what I wanted, you had understood what my heart was craving for. Yes, I perceived that a corner of the curtain in your window had been looped up and fastened to the cornice as I had suggested should be done; and it seemed to me that your dear face was glimmering at the window, and that you were looking at me from out of the darkness of your room, and that you were thinking of me.
