Fyodor Mikhailovich had been suffering from epilepsy for many years - a disease that history has more or less proven to be a disease of the elite - doctors believed that going to Western Europe could help the treatment of the greatest writer of all time, and he too, like the disease of the word of mouth, went on this trip around Europe to Maybe a cure is possible. Traveling to Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Florence, London, etc. and writing an amazing collection of the most frank and passionate travel notes in history! The book "Europe Travel: Winter Reflections on Summer Influences" is Dostoyevsky's description of what he saw and heard in all parts of Europe in the second half of the 19th century, while he sarcastically says at the beginning of the book that Russians have thought enough about Western Europe and read about it too much. They know more about it than Russia and they don't need to know more! It is this initial sarcasm in the continuation of the book that its color and meaning are revealed, and Dostoyevsky with intensity and frankness brings forward and whips an example of what he went through on his journey, the astonishment and dependence and attachment of Russians to the West. In the notes of his European travelogue, the author attacks all the political, social and cultural manifestations of his time, from generalities such as liberalism and socialism to details such as the temperament of Parisian men and women. It is with this procedure that these writings have become a valuable critical document of the life of the Western white man of the 19th century and are still readable after nearly two centuries.
