Madame Alex

Ideological Love

The letter became known to the public 30 years after its writing. Readers read it with genuine interest, it was pohlesche themselves novels of the author, which was discussed, and were horrified - broke social and literary scene.
Anna Dostoevskaya reading the October issue of the journal "Modern World" in 1913, where it was published, immediately rose to defend her husband. And who else but her, sharing with Dostoevsky's joys and hardships of a very uneasy traveling together, could answer Nikolai Strakhov, by this time, too long lying in the grave ...

She remembers the cold autumn day in the distant, long since melted into eternity in 1866 when a very young girl (she was vsego20 years) knocked on the door to the already well-known elderly 45-year old writer. Behind the beginner stenographers were high-school courses so fashionable at the time "ideological quest", which were inherent in the younger generation 60-ies. Over the shoulders of its author's idol "Poor People" - participated in the revolutionary circle Petrashevsky, repealed the decree of the king directly on the scaffold penalty, a Siberian penal servitude and literary fame.

Dostoevsky dictated to her "The Gambler", and it seemed strange that he is experiencing all the feelings experienced by the protagonist of this short novel. Then she still did not know anything about the psychology of literary creation ("Madame Bovary - that's me!"), Did not know about the actual background of "The Gambler" (the heroine Pauline Dostoevsky wrote to his mistress Apollinaria Suslova, spoiling him - and subsequently Vasily Rozanov - a lot of blood). Working with Dostoyevsky was not easy - the novel was moving slowly, tormenting poor hard-hearted Paulina from the love of the protagonist of the novel by Alexei Petrovich, he suffered for love is beginning to hate this woman. Anna did not understand what love can be such a sensitive woman's heart, but immediately realized that this is a pain most of Dostoevsky, his unrequited love for Suslova - by the time he managed to tell her my heart of mystery. Either way the novel was completed by the promised deadline publisher - 29 October. Two weeks later he asked for her hand. She did not hesitate to answer yes. Dostoevsky was very happy and did not hide it. He found what he was looking for - a submissive wife tremble, ready for him at all. But love at first marriage, Anne was a "head", more "ideological" rather than sensual and emotional. She admired him, pitied him, lost out in their time of joy and happiness. And sincerely tried to give him something, and more. But the harsh reality nearly upset all the construction of a young woman. Too complicated man was Fyodor Dostoevsky for a joint - of family life. Too great was the intellectual gap between them. Too much - difference in years. He was older than her on any - on several lives at once. But the gap still has not happened, because it literally superhuman efforts, and the marriage with "dear, precious and diamond Fedya" lasted until his death - 14 years.

She resigned with everyone: with its painful, quarrelsome and very cranky character, and his suspicion, and petty squabbles. With a passion for the game, to roulette, when abroad, play all until the very last thaler, and then stream of penitential letter and a note asking for forgiveness. She got used to his epileptic fit, which are so getting afraid because I do not know what to do, how to provide the necessary first aid. She even managed to overcome his jealousy of "the fatal temptress" Apollonia, for which he once left his literary pursuits and seriously aching (and died shortly thereafter) Maria Dmitrievna Isaeva, particularly his wife, and, forgetting everything else, rushed headlong in Paris, in order to return it because of another lawsuit. She managed to become the wife of a brilliant genius, many suffered for years with him and remained faithful guardian of his memory, could not let some Strakhov, even with the addition of light, profane precious name.
