I was only in my early twenties when I discovered Dostoevsky
Dostoevsky was a prophetic writer, a man with a mission
I read one book after another like a starving man
Dostoevsky’s writings shaped my personality
Dostoevsky made me think like no other writer did
I spend my youth in an extremist environment surrounded by fanatics
Yet not once the doctrines of the land where I was born and raised dared to influence my thinking
I remain like a pearl hidden and exploded as soon as I escape the prison of that wretched land
Now there is a whole world to conquer
The world of mighty literature superior than anything
