Hi! As someone who speaks Russian, this is the word-by-word translation: "Suffering and pain are always necessary for a wide understanding (=knowledge/intelligence) and a deep heart". In essence, it aims to express that the person is quite profound and self-aware, mature, experienced, worldly, smth along the lines of that. Thank you for your videos and best of luck finishing!

For people that feel stressed out by reading "slowly" ( like Leonie and myself!) a helpful tip I've learned is to allocate time to reading rather than pages or chapters. That way, my brain has already mentally registered this time for reading and not for doing other things, so I feel less "guilty" for "wasting time" reading a slower book. I tend to break these chunks up in 30min sessions for these heavier classics. It makes it more palatable

Apparently Dostoeyvsky and many other authors of his time period were paid by the page, so maybe thats why his works are so long. Makes one wonder what he would've written if that wasn't a necessity.

I doubt what's liikely the greatest author would unnecessarily make his work longer for the sake of money.

At 11:00 you talk about needing context to understand the story. This is why when I recommend Crime and Punishment (or really any other Dostoevsky book) I tell them to get the translation by Larissa Volokhonsky and Richard Pevear. They do provide that context in footnotes. It makes it so much more understandable. They also translate books by other Russian authors. But those are english translations. But I recommend them.

Simon and Schuster also has a really good print of C&P. They've got footnotes and a recap of the characters names - which was really helpful when I started out because I couldn't remember the many characters. They also have explanatory notes and overview of key themes :)

from a perspective of a russian: these two quotes-interpretations that you've mentioned are actually a mix of the original line. It is literally like: "pain and suffering are always inevitable for wide understanding and a deep heart"

Reading one of those big Classics is an interesting exercise. I read In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, which took me two years. There were moments when I found it hard going but then he'd hit you with some of the most beautiful writing on love, jealousy, plants, art, memory, family etc and the way it brings itself to an end is just perfect. I'm glad I read it. After that I think I could read anything. I also read a couple of books around it as I went. There's a guide to all the art in the books, which was a delightful way to rest whilst reading and there was a great book of essays written by a Polish academic whilst a prisoner of war in Russia that really helped understand the books. Getting outside input never does any harm imo. Lovely video btw. I do like your vibe.

I'm currently reading Crime and Punishment and loving it. One thing that definitely helps me with historical and social references I don't get is that my edition comes with some very helpful notes. 👍

I totally get "the weird stressed feeling", when reading and being aware of your reading pace. So i really appreciate that you share stuff like that on here. It makes engaging in the book community much nicer and not seem like other people never struggle. But also one a more general note: I always love watching your reading vlogs :) they always feel like we actually get to be with you for that time. (At least for me)

Congratulations! So many videos you've talked about having tried to get through Crime and Punishment, glad to see you finally enjoy it^^

The ending of your video was so well done, I was smiling. You are a very good content creator.🖤🖤🖤

Good luck with finishing the rest of the book. I normally just dropped a book if I not interested enough to continue it. I respect you for give a long book like that a other go after try to finish it for so long. You can do it!

I've recently started to read heavier books like crime and punishment and what I've really learned it how much of a group effort it is. And how beautiful that group effort is! I really think part of the experience is getting out there with the book, find people who've read it and discuss it. To peel back the layers with people who have like 30+ experience with difficult literature or people who've just started with difficult literature. You'll be able to see so much more and maybe even re-read parts of it to understand it better. Books like these are more like projects with steps besides reading the book. I get that you're struggling though. Even though it is like a project, it's exactly that aspect of it that can feel boring or daunting or just plain annoying. And it's not a intelligence thing like you said, but a strategy thing. I'm happy you pushed through so far!

I really appreciate this video! One of my favourite genres is the classics, I find them so rewarding once I find a rhythm, but it is really hard to really get into it! I always find myself reading those when I don't have school or work. I think reading more than one book at a time is a good idea, but I also find it easier to read those huge classics asap, so that I can move on to books with a faster pace. Because I am sure I wouldn't want to go back to War and Peace if I read one of my romance novels at the same time, it would seem 10 times harder to read!

I am about 200 pages in myself on my second try to conquer it. Your "Smart Leonie" outfit is adorable but you were obviously already super smart. I agree about "Crime and Punishment"--I think Dostoevsky is a genius at drawing little psychological lessons from situations. Ah well--as long as this 600-page book didn't make you want to violently murder your landperson it's all good! ;-)

the house in the cerulean sea is amazing!! i just finished it. it seems like a longer read but it goes by so fast. the writing is so colorful and fun to read :) cant wait to hear your thoughts on it!

your monologue about being stressed being a slow reader reading a slow-paced book speaks to a different level to me! Omg I felt so seen! 🤣💙

I admire your perseverance. Getting a glimpse of your journey through this book unfold is glorious. “Beautiful discourse is rarer than emerald. Yet it can be found amongst the servant girls at the mill.” I am also a fellow advocate for having a lighter/more uplifting novel to read whilst reading a big kahuna such as C&P

This is so relatable! I'm reading War and Peace at the moment. I started it years ago, had to restart, had to binge watch KZread documentaries about the Napoleonic Wars to understand the context, had to find shmoop notes (similar to spark notes) about the book to get to grips with the characters. Even now, my strategy is to read it for 50 minutes a day (in two 25 minute bursts, making a cup of tea in between) to get through it. I'm on page 832 (of 1,392)... As to whether I'm reading it to just be a person who has... Some days I feel that! Will my review be, 'I thought this was an amazing book' or just 'I'm proud of myself for finishing it'?? 😏 Anyway, good luck with Crime and Punishment and thank you for the vlog 😊

Omg! I love and appreciate how honest you are about your comprehension of this book. I am a proud owner of this book! Have not read it yet! But I’m pretty sure I’d feel like a total failure caught with the same confusion. Thank you very much when I do pick it up I will know I’m not alone! And I like your strategy! I had to do that with some other books before.

Love the tidbit about the translation of the quote. Whenever I read a translated story I always wonder what I might be missing.

Your outfits are so gorgeous, specially the puffy shirt! Also Our Flag Means Death is so so amazing I’m so glad you’re watching and enjoying it!!

I love that you share your journey with that book. I don't think I would suffer through any Dostoyewki (had to in high school, which is always the worst, with deadlines and surface level discussions), but there are some other intimidaring books on my list I miiight feel better about now :)

yayyyyyy i just watched the vid where you said you wanted to read it before you die and now i'm here. wow. this is one of my favorite books of all time hope you enjoy!

I had a hard time reading Crime and Punishment too, so much that the first time I dropped it around half way through it, but then around a year ago I was finally able to finish it from start to end by reading along with an audiobook. I find this technique very helpful whenever I want to read more difficult books, especially classics. This way I find it so much easier to follow the story thanks to the rhythm and the intonation the voice actor gives by reading aloud

I always worry about translations. Have I REALLY read it, or just a close approximation of it. Another heady classic that I feel is more engaging is Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. A personal favorite.

I’m happy that I read it in high school and loved it. Had I decided to read on my own, I feel like it would have taken me ages to even pick it up for the first time.

Ah crime and punishment also went very slowly for me. Sometimes 12 pages an hour aka 5 min per page… but I loved it and it’s one of my favourite books now.

The internet can really be amazing in helping to understand classics, when i was reading Ulysses by James Joyce i used a website that someone had made where the explained what happens in every chapter, so i would read the chapter first and then if i was confused i would go to the website.

the title of the video says it all its obviously crime and punishment

I get that exact thing all the time, where I am constantly thinking about everything else exept the chapter that I just read. It's a massive pain

This video and the comments on it have given me so many helpful tips for reading those BIG. CLASSIC. BOOKS. that I think I finally feel more ready to read them. Russian literature especially has always felt daunting, since the cultural context is very different from what I'm used to. But then again, the same goes for Chinese classic literature or Indian classic literature.

dude i shit you not i had just started pouring my pasta topping over my plate when i look at the screen and see you randomly do that very same thing the exact same moment, the way i stared at it open-mouthed throwing my hands up and then i sit in the kitchen annoyed at the washing machine for making me have to turn the volume up and hear you say that thing about yours and this is sending me right now lmfao. anyway i know this video is old but i totally relate to the getting stressed out about the crushing awarenesses of being so damn slow and like everything else lol. thanks for being my comfort go to youtuber always ❤

Im also reading "crime and punshment" 😂 im reading it in arabic and what is intresting is that in arabic it is actually two books each one of them is almost 500 pages 😅😅 it took me the first 100 pages to fall in love with this book and to understand what is going on and now im in the second book and im so in love with it!! Ive been reading it for almost a year and i actualy dont want to finish it from how much im loving it 😂i also wish i knew russian to be able to read it in its original form🤩 hope that you liked it in the end 🥰

I've been reading Les Miserables and I understand completely what you're talking about when you say you feel stress from reading a big book because it goes so slowly. I was also doing that and trying to figure out what my problem was. I'm enjoying reading it but it's so slow like I'm spinning my wheels. I hate that agitated feeling I get. I don't know how to overcome it.

First of all, Our Flag Means Death is SO GOOOD and more people need to see it so it can get renewed cause we NEED season 2!! And the amount of fan art related to it is amazing!! That being said :)) this is what I feel like reading Shakespeare - like i’m only getting the surface and missing so much context … and i’d like to learn more but at the same time I don’t want reading to feel like homework … it’s complicated 😅 I also had the same reading too slow frustration while reading Dune. I was loving the books but reading them took so much mental effort it was a weird experience

Die colour match van de labels tho. God wat maakt mij dat unreasonably blij

i am finishing crime and punishment today and it's really nice to see other peoples experience with it !! for me, the whole book was okay to read, im not gonna say easy, but i didn't find it particularly hard and i enjoyed the pacing. it's the ending that is taking me the longest but it's mainly because it's cantered a lot around a character i despise. to be honest, classics are more bearable to me if i don't take them seriously 100% of the time. like yeah, it is a serious depiction of human nature and 1800s russia, however it's also about silly little insane people and i respect that ps: it rly helps to read with endnotes or have help by litcharts

I haven't finished it yet, but I had the same experience with the Count of Monte Cristo. My best friend was reading Les Miserables at the same time and we both found it so much more rewarding when we started looking at the historical context, key dates in the French revolution, facts about Napoleon etc. I'm hoping to get back into it and finish it after I graduate at the end of this year!

Read this for a Literature course (was it the abridged version, I can't remember), and I think the book itself is kind of suspenseful and emotionally draining and reading for a course really "enhanced" that feeling. Can totally relate to feeling the stress. It was actually helpful having an instructor explain some of the more complex stuff to me, however.

When I'm reading a big long book that I'm having issues retaining, I see if I can find an audiobook version and I listen at the same time as I read. It doesn't help the time issue but it really helps me focus since multiple of my senses are involved in the reading process

I do the same! But it actually helps me to read faster because I don’t get distracted in the middle of a paragraph and have to reread it 🤡

Honestly, I had the same issue with Neuromancer, I had no idea what was going on until I looked up a glossary of all the different tech names and organisations' acronyms and then I understood what was happening, I enjoyed it in the end and I'm excited to read the next books in the series. The same with Berkeley's 'Principles of human knowledge and three dialogues' which I enjoyed after watching a video by a Philosophy professor. It's okay not to understand everything the second you read it.

Probably the most stressful book I've read was also my fastest read, though it was stressful for different reasons. I picked up Still Alice by Lisa Genova after one of my Neuroscience professors recommended it. Knowing what it's about means knowing how it ends, since it centers on a professor who develops early onset Alzheimer's disease. There are so many dark and deeply heartbreaking moments in this book and despite knowing things can't get better, I felt compelled to keep reading. If you haven't read this book, I HIGHLY recommend it. There's a lot we don't consider when we talk about these degenerative diseases and this book puts a light on that. Throughout the book, I found myself crying, but despite how she is rendered so different from who she was, the book never loses sight of Alice's humanity and personhood. In spite of its dark subject matter, I think this book is important for anyone to read

It was a big deal to me to read this book because I did it last year, when I was getting into reading again (after a pause of 6 years) and I remember that even I thought it was a little too long I didn't care and get into it sooo much that it took me a week and a half to finish that big boy... I admit that I didn't love it but surely like it. Thanks to Dostoyevski I get back into the beautiful world of literature 💜 (he's one of my fav authors)

i literally just binged ofmd so i am so happy you mentioned it haha

I would really recommended you to read the house in the cerulean sea! It helped me so much when reading a long book as the story just went by so quicly!!

I have a hard time reading classics since I became chronically ill/disabled. The brain fog is bad, and it takes me longer to digest information. I used to be in Literary criticism, and AP English. so I read tons of classics. I mostly stick to YA now

i'm polish and i feel like it was way easier for me to read it because polish is more similar to russian and the way they talk feels more familiar. i tried to read it in english and definitely wasn't the same! i imagine dutch may be just like that

Reading big classics can sometimes get very intimidating. This is what happened to me while reading The Count of Monte Cristo. The solution I found was that listening to the audiobook (available for free in KZread) instead while keeping tracks on which page you are in the book. It becomes so easy.

Mine after 3 years is The Count of Monte Cristo😭

I typically read fast and when I'm reading slower I get stressed and feel bad, so I understand in the opposite sense 😆. I usually read 7 to 10 books at a time to switch it up so I don't get bored and stressed out. I bought four short books yesterday because I was getting stressed with all of my long books.

'The House in the Cerulean Sea', while it LOOKS long, would actually be a terrific "I need a break" book because it is so fluffy and feel-good. It broke me out of a reading slump caused by the (long AND ennui-filled) 'The Windup Bird Chronicles', which had caused me to get stuck in the middle of not only WUBC, but two other books as well!

i'm planning to read the book this month or the next but i definitely will listen to the audiobook! i dont think i can read it without the audio (there are some here in youtube)

I couldn’t even take that book down. One of my favs. 5 days read. War and Peace, though, took me 3 weeks. Both are my favs.

Same book same experience. I got to around 100 pages in the translation I am reading and thought he has done the deed do I need another 500 pages of angst. No issues with the length of the book but I find it hard going, unlike Quiet Flows the Don, War and Peace, etc. I am sure I will get to the end eventually! Keep going.

I immediately knew the title was about this book and I am reading it right know. I actually enjoy Crime and Punishment, but, yes, it is difficult to go through😅

I read the title and said "has to be crime and punishment"... I was right. I think to anyone who reads this, an existential crisis and huge questioning of their life philosophy is a mandatory experience. I can definitely say I felt the claustrophobia and darkness every time I read a page, it is intense but worth it. One of the few masterpieces worthy of being called a classic. I read Oliver Ready's new translation and it feels so fluid and great, definitely more modern than other translations and is the one I recommend for English readers.

ooo my favourite set book in high school in Poland. I have already read it twice

Me too only commited to use 1 (one) color of tab and choose the color based on the cover's situation 😝

Tbh crime and punishment was my first "classic" I ever read and completely loved it 😝

Totally understand about not knowing the historical context because that's how I felt reading The Master and Margarita. Still enjoyed it though. I love magical realism.

I had to read 60+ novels for my degree (90% of which were 500+ pages) and I can say going back and forth between two novels makes me feel like I’m going sm faster! I like to switch books after each chapter.

crime and punishment AND our flag means death?? what an amazing reading vlog!!💓

As soon as I saw the title I thought “ah Crime and Punishment” and I was right lmao I’m reading it at the moment too, I’m about halfway through but so far it’s just been hilarious, I absolutely love Raskolnikov

The biggest problem is always translation😅 I read this book in russian and thought it was amazing and not that hard, but your experience gave me a different perspective

Hey Leonie! I was wondering if the sticky notes leave a lot of residue if you remove them from your book after a while. I used these (HEMA I believe) as well in on of my studybooks, but so much glue stayed behind and damaged the page.

I would recommend anyone interested reading C & P is to get an annotated copy to understand the context

Oohhh pleaseeee read The House In The Cerulean Sea it’s one of my favorites! I recently lent it to my friend and she loved it as well!

OH MH GOD YOURE A LIFE SAVER

This book was a ROLLERCOASTER and damn

This is how I was with “Don Quixote “; I loved “Crime and Punishment,” though.

For anyone else who wants to read crime and punishment but is struggling, I highly recommend the audio book on KZread channel 'audio books classics 2'. The narrator is excellent!

8:00 SAME! i suppose it's influenced by my anxiety

I read this during Great Lent last year. It's an amazing book.

I had to read this book for my class in high school as a lecture and apparently I was the only person in entire class who actually read it from the first page to last. And I really liked it. Thought it was an interesting vision of morality (even though a little grim and the main character seemed a little self-absorbed). Well, now I thought about re-reading it, but I feel I'll fail. XD

Leí el libro este año y me tomo casi dos años. Algunas partes se me hicieron interesantes, pero sí que es denso es por eso que tuve que dejarlo varias veces. Igual, creo que hace un trabajo genial con la exploración de personajes, en especial con el protagonista. Me gustó, pero fue un trabajo arduo, xd
