Dostoevsky - Poet of Humanity. Five Reflections

Summary:
Poverty and compassion, guilt and forgiveness, death and the immortality of the soul - these are the central themes that Eugen Drewermann finds in the works of the Russian poet Dostoevsky. To take Dostoevsky seriously means, for him, to speak of grace in the face of a merciless world and to discuss faith in the shadow of despair. And even when there seems to be no way out, to show places where hope is possible. Eugen Drewermann masterfully reveals the religious dimension of Dostoevsky's poetry. An essential read for anyone who wants to understand a central dimension of the Russian writer's work and the foundations of Eugen Drewermann's thinking.
