Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics (Volume 8) (Theory and History of Literature) Paperback – June 21, 1984

Used for research. It was perfect!

The way this man thought makes me think in a fresh way. Literature, like any art, stands to been seen through this thinker's lens. Why? To walk away a little wiser, a little kinder, a little more interested in how great words on a page can dance.

Book. Author sort of writes a lot in order to say the same thing over and over, but it IS academic writing so you have to expect that. Then again, this is an online review and I'm not an expert or anything. If you're looking at this book you probably know what you're buying already.

Very important for literature students, persons studying Eastern Orthodox religious or spiritual studies. Bakhtin is the principal author of 'genre theory' in modern times. He certainly lifts lid on Dostoevsky's characters and their dialogue.

Brilliant critical theory from one of Soviet Russia's best literary minds. In additions, it's hard to be bored by an insightful study of Dostoyevsky.

Amazon provided me my first ever e-book for Kindle in a couple of seconds. This is so easy that it is even scary.

I am pleased to own a copy of Bakhtin's seminal work on Dostoevsky's fiction. It has been of substantial value for my research.

Book arrived ahead of schedule. Book meets expectations.
