Bobok - Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Bog

Bobok is a short story written by the famous Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The story revolves around Ivan Ivanovich, a man who visits a cemetery and hears the voices of the dead. He listens in on their conversations and is surprised to find that even in death, people cannot stop gossiping and talking about their lives. The story is a commentary on human nature and the obsession with gossip and trivial matters. Dostoyevsky uses the voices of the dead to highlight the pettiness and vanity of human existence. The story is a satirical take on society and its obsession with status, wealth, and power. Bobok is a classic work of literature that is still relevant today, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in Russian literature or philosophy.To begin with the smell. There were fifteen hearses, with palls varying in expensiveness; there were actually two catafalques. One was a general's and one some lady's. There were many mourners, a great deal of feigned mourning and a great deal of open gaiety. The clergy have nothing to complain of; it brings them a good income. But the smell, the smell. I should not like to be one of the clergy here.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
