Bøker av Susan McReynolds

ENGDostoevsky's Russian chauvinism and anti Semitism have long posed problems for his readers and critics. How could the author of The Brothers Karamazov also be the source of the slurs against Jews in Diary of a Writer? And where is the celebrated Christian humanist in the nationalist outbursts of The Idiot? These enigmas-the coexistence of humanism and hatred, faith and doubt-are linked, Susan McReynolds tells us in Redemption and the Merchant God. Her book analyzes Dostoevsky's novels and Diary to show how the author's anxieties about Christianity can help solve the riddle of his anti Semitism as well as that of his Russian messianism.RUSНационалистические и антисемитские воззрения Достоевского долгое время создавали проблемы для его читателей и критиков. Как мог автор «Братьев Карамазовых» быть автором оскорблений в адрес евреев в «Дневнике писателя»? Как христианский гуманист мог допустить националистические выпады в романе «Идиот»? По мнению Сюзан Макрейнольдз, на первый взгляд загадочное сосуществование гуманизма и ненависти, веры и сомнения на самом деле закономерно, а корни национализма Достоевского лежат в его тревогах относительно христианства.
