Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij: Zločin a trest

Čítanie povinnej literatúry som na strednej škole zanedbával, možno až na Otca Goriota od Balzaca. Radšej som si prečítal Tolkiena alebo Asimova a nie tie "divné psycho-drámy", ktoré majú veľa strán a dej, ktorý sa dá napísať v skratke na tri strany.
S postupom času som sa k niektorým dielam vrátil a na Zločin a trest som sa chystal niekoľko rokov. Myslím, že bolo dobré sa k tejto knihe dostať neskôr.

Knihu som dostal do daru, asi pred dvoma alebo troma rokmi. Je to staré slovenské vydanie z roku 1965 - SVKL. Celú knihu som prečítal asi za dva mesiace a čítal som ju v autobuse do a zo školy.

Dej som samozrejme zhruba poznal zo strednej školy. Hlavná zápletka je v knihe síce veľmi dôležitá, no popri nej sa deje veľmi veľa vecí, ktoré rozvíjajú postavy a lepšie sa chápe ich charakter. Páčil sa mi motív, ktorý donútil Raskoľnikova spáchať vraždu. Zaujímavý je článok, ktorý vyjadroval jeho postoj k činu, ktorý spáchal. K tomuto článku sa dostal vyšetrovateľ Fomič, ktorý je podľa mňa asi najzaujímavejšia postava v knihe. Brilantne drží Raskoľnikova v šachu a on je tak odsúdený na trýznivé myšlienky svojho svedomia.

Nerobím si poznámky z knihy, ktorú čítam, ale pri tejto ľutujem, že som tak nespravil. Našiel som tam veľa pekných viet a keďže má veľa strán a čítal som ju celkom dlhú dobu, tak ľahko som ich znova nenašiel.

Dostojevskij je asi fakt dobrý v psychike postáv. Veľakrát som si domyslel, ako sa môže postava naozaj cítiť. Tá duševná ťarcha, ktorú Raskoľnikov nesie, je prítomná skoro všade. Naopak, jeho priateľ Razumichin je potešením vždy keď sa objaví a je ako protipól (to mám z knihy). Páčilo sa mi aj ako sa Rozumichin zoznámi s Duňou, Raskoľnikovou sestrou. Ku koncu knihy sa Raskoľnikov zblíži so Soňou, s ktorou sa podelí o svoje útrapy. Koniec knihy je dosť smutný.

Bol to pekný zážitok. Nečakal som, že ma to bude tak zaujímať. Hlavne pri takom rozťahanom čítaní. Povedal som si, že Zločin a trest je dobré prečítať raz za 10 rokov. Vzhľadom na vek knihy - Dostojevskij ju dopísal v roku 1867 - je to obdivuhodné dielo.

iMac G3: Mac OS X 10.4.11

So my goal to install Mac OS X Tiger has come true. Firstly I needed Tiger on CD's and that was a big problem because you can buy Tiger mostly on DVD although there are also some CD versions but very expensive. But I was lucky because friend of my friend, Neuromanc, lent me this very rare 4-CD version. So thanks again :-). My iMac is not officially supported because it has no FireWire. But you can override this with software XPostFacto . I downloaded and installed the latest version so I could use it with Mac OS X 10.3 (the previous versions worked only with OS 9). I erased HDD entirely before the installation just to be sure. After first restart the installation continued from other CD's. The installation process took approximately one hour and ran without problem. After registration the update process started-up and took another hour or more. It was repeated several times ma inly due to Java updates. Then finally I could download software and this time the latest versions. I ...

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning w...

Thanksgiving in Auburn, upstate NY

Mia and I had hoped to spend our Thanksgiving with our families and friends, but this is 2020. First we were thinking about traveling South (e.g. Virginia), but the driving would be just too long for us. Then we thought about going North and we both agreed that the Finger Lakes region beckoned to be discovered by us. For this trip, Mia suggested bringing our road bikes and I just could not say no. We found a very affordable Airbnb in Auburn, upstate NY. Driving there was not that long (~4.5 hours) but because we were not in a hurry, we came to town in the evening - Thanksgiving evening. We naively thought that we could get dinner in town, so after we checked in our Airbnb, we drove downtown. Surprise, surprise - everything was closed. Luckily, Mia packed frozen gluten-free pizza, avocados, apples and other food so our Thanksgiving was saved! Our apartment had a stove, oven and microwave oven and we could prepare meals for the evening and for our whole stay in Auburn. Next day we chose ...
