Dostoevsky's chronic dream …

 

Philosophical Romance philology as exercise in death
Sergey Zemljanoj

Sergey Rosedkin. Dostoevsky's suicide. A suicide theme in a life and creativity of the writer. M: Algorithm, 2002, 448 with.

One of the main things, if not the main thing, advantage of this book consists that its perusal freshens in memory of the reader a little kapitalnejshih (the favourite term of the author) thoughts which in aggregate slightly open certain modus access to creativity - and as believes Rosedkin, by a life and death - Feodor Dostoevsky. And though these thoughts do not belong to the author, as they do not belong and to Dostoevsky (though spiritually by it are lived), and borrowed by them other, not less ingenious writers, I in view of their cardinal importance will try to reproduce them shortly. Certainly, all these thoughts have the direct relation to a death theme, including - a voluntary violent death, that is suicide to which discussed job is entirely devoted.

The first belongs to the founder "sacred John Bogoslova's Revelation" and outlines horizon rannehristianskogo perceptions of death, sharply excellent, for example, from saddukejskogo: " Also I have heard a loud voice from the sky, speaking: se, skinija the God with chelovekami, and It will live with them; and they will be Its people, and The God with them will be their God. The God also will wipe any tear from their eyes, and the death will not be already; neither crying, nor a cry, illnesses any more will not be, for the past has passed "(Otkr. 21, 3-4). Death will not be, but it is, former has passed, but it anywhere has not got to, the life human all as is accompanied we cry, cries and illnesses; the Second Coming is postponed; and it is Christian life-in-world. The second thought is thrown in culture by John Donne (what Rosedkin mentions), but has blossomed and has begun to sparkle under incomparable Horhe Luis Borches's feather (what he holds back): its essence that" not God torments have killed the Christ but that actually it has committed suicide wonderful and conscious radiation of soul ". This idea which at all has been not quite released from its theological cover, Rosedkin has based Dostoevsky's on interpretation." Yes, suicide - Dostoevsky's chronic dream, - declares the author. - the reasons at it was-was available more than enough: severe illnesses (including nervous), chronic poverty, absolutely impasses in a life (arrest, catastrophic losses on a roulette), love failures, the internal loneliness, heavy losses close and native … All life he continually dreamt to finish with itself(himself), but, overcoming depression, continued to live-exist. Why? Three things, three circumstances, three factors, three powerful ropes adhered it to a life - 1) creativity, 2) God-seeking, 3) a family ". And Rosedkin does a conclusion that Dostoevsky"has committed suicide". To me it is thought, that it on the substance of the rights: geniuses do not have casual death; it also Anna Snitkina-Dostoevskaja who, under formulation Rosedkina, considered in own way understood, that its great husband" has died very much in time ". In the same way as I consider pertinent and interpretation by the author of philosophical Romance philology of Dostoevsky according to platonovskim philosophy definition: the philosophy is an exercise in death; same it is correct and concerning the literature which understands itself as philosophy.

For me rather doubtful the method psihologistskoj divinatsii, guesses and the assumptions based on searches of biunique conformity between Dostoevsky and its heroes, between people surrounding it - and characters of its books, however, is represented. From some villages of the book directly frighten off rezonerstvo authorships, it moralizatorstvo, it "filosofizmy" which stand not too expensively and help nothing, nothing doing umopostigaemym, like the such: "creativity Riddles - are inexplicable". Well, also what? Not to write books about great writers? At last, Rosedkin pretty often confuses style without which the author respecting not to manage, to a manner, with semimechanical reproduction of the literary receptions which have for some reason attracted to it and a cliche (for example, nanizyvanie against each other in one phrase of absolutely superfluous synonymic pairs): " It is important to us to know-understand, that even if Dostoevsky and did not think, was not going to literally to be come off-rush in a precipice, however, it is possible not to doubt, that the description of love-hatred poliny and Alexey Ivanovicha a lot of documentary (!), in dreams of the hero about suicide it is a lot of autobiographical. And hardly only at the moment of novel creation-writing there was in creative imagination of a prototype-author such ominous, but quite logical synthesis of thoughts-intentions <…> "etc. So after all nearby and before self-parodying. Have sincerely touched me references of the author on Saraskinu, Djurkgejma, Volgin and CHhartishvili in one bottle as venerable dostoevedov and suitsidologov. Unlike" losers "from" ZHZL "Grosmanna and Seleznev. The god in the help. Like painting, poets!
