Book Review

«The Meek One» by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a profound and tragic work that explores complex human emotions and psychology. The story, written in the form of a monologue, is a confession of a husband who has lost his wife. Dostoevsky masterfully conveys the inner world of the protagonist, his suffering, and attempts to make sense of what happened. Critics note that the author successfully creates a tense atmosphere in which the reader is immersed in the character's emotional turmoil. The work raises questions about love, pride, and despair, prompting reflection on the nature of human relationships. Dostoevsky, as always, demonstrates a deep understanding of human psychology and the ability to convey complex emotional states. «The Meek One» is considered one of the finest examples of psychological prose, where every element of the text serves to reveal the protagonist's internal conflict.
