3/19/2014Today I've added another quote to the quote page and confirmed
that we do have a movie.
Quote (3/19/2014)
Captain Snegiryov (Ilusha's father speaking to Alexey):
“An ordinary boy, a weak son,
would have submitted, have felt ashamed of his father, sir, but he
stood up for his father against them all. For his father and for
truth and justice. For what he suffered when he kissed your brother's
hand and cried to him ‘Forgive father, forgive him,’ — that only God
knows — and I, his father. For our children — not your children,
but ours — the children of the poor gentlemen looked down upon by
every one — know what justice means, sir, even at nine years old. How
should the rich know? They don't explore such depths once in their lives.”
—
Part II. Book IV “LACERATIONS”,
Chapter VII, “And In The Open Air”
I was especially moved by this quote because justice is exactly
the sort of thing one fails to appreciate until he is in great need of it.
Captain Snegiryov is in such need.

1/11/2014 About the Book
- Didn't we do this book before?
Well, that was way back in 1996, 18 years ago.
Even if you don't want to re-read it, you can come for the discussion, food, movie.
I wouldn't repeat a book without a good reason, as there are so many
books worthy of a party. But this is a significant book.
- Significance: This is the greatest novel in the English language, ever since
Constance Garnett translated it in 1912. It's a romance, a whodunit murder mystery,
a comedy, a tragedy, but most of all it is a philisophical novel explaining why
it makes sense to believe in God. You can quote me on that.
- Details: Dostoyevsky published it in 1880 as a serial in the magazine
The Russian Messenger. Find out more about the
Dostoevsky at Wikipedia.

guide to the characters.
Those who are reading the
novel might find this helpful as some characters have multiple names.
