Quote:
For Dostoevsky, war is the rebellion of the people against the idea that reason guides everything. And thus, reason is the ultimate principle of guidance for neither history nor mankind.

For me this is the most approachable Dostoevsky work. I was hooked from the first page. I started reading it about 21:00 and stayed up until I finished it. By Russian standards it is a short novel.
