Kolya Ivolgin from "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky

[asyaflyanff]

Translating text into photos:

“But she… isn’t she dead?” whispered the prince, raising his head and, as if with difficulty, catching his breath.

“Dead,” Rogozhin said in a whisper. 

Rogozhin and Myshkin from “The Idiot” by Dostoevsky

"You can be right when you see that the fatherland is dying, but you can also be mad when you start a riot without having either the strength or the means..."

Nikolai 1 Romanov, the Decembrist Uprising

so, I do not even know why I painted flowers in his chest, which, by the way, he denied😭 WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE JESUS HELP😭😭😭😭😭😭

Evgeny Bazarov from "Fathers and Sons" by

I. S. Turgenev

Translation:

— Are their prayers, their tears fruitless? Is love, holy, devoted love, not omnipotent? Oh no! Grave, no matter how passionate, sinful, and rebellious a heart may be, the flowers growing on it look at us serenely with their innocent eyes: they do not only speak of eternal peace, of that great calm of indifferent nature; they also speak of eternal reconciliation and endless life.…

wyjadacze serc w stanie kacenjameru

inspired by the zagórski translation of the line "Печорины-сердцееды". Constance Garnett translates it as "lady-killing Petchorins", but Zagórski drops the literary reference entirely and instead makes it something like "hungover heart-eaters". "wyjadać" means to devour, but with a specific twist to it that i struggle to translate otherwise than. to eat out?? and "kacenjamer" is an archaic germanic word for a hangover that can also mean loud, chaotic, yappy noise. inaccurate though it may be, i have to say i enjoy this version tremendously...

I've had this spread for a very long time, so I decided to share it with you!

Pyotr Verkhovensky, Nikolai Stavrogin and Alexey Kirillov from "Demons" by Dostoevsky

Translation:

«He thinks he's telling me to. He stands behind me and trembles, afraid that I won't finish. And I'm writing freedom. I'll finish it now, and I'll become a god. And he is... He would stay down here with his fear. Let him dictate. I don't care. There will be silence soon.» A. N. Kirillov

« – Let's go, let's go, Nikolai Vsevolodovich; now we're all alone, so let's go hand in hand!»
