Author: Rene Girard
Condition: New
In a fascinating analysis of critical themes in Feodor Dostoevskys work, René Girard explores the implications of the Russian authors underground, a site of isolation, alienation, and resentment. Brilliantly translated, this book is a testament to Girards remarkable engagement with Dostoevskys work, through which he discusses numerous aspects of the human condition, including desire, which Girard argues is triangular or mimetic-copied from models or mediators whose objects of desire become our own. Girards interdisciplinary approach allows him to shed new light on religion, spirituality, and redemption in Dostoevskys writing, culminating in a revelatory discussion of the authors spiritual understanding and personal integration. Resurrection is an essential and thought-provoking companion to Dostoevskys Notes from the Underground.
