Book Review
The book is "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" by Fyodor Dostoevsky [Translated by Constance Garnett].
The book is about a man who takes pride in being called a madman and also likes those who laugh at him. Then it points out how difficult it has become to know the truth.
With education as well, the central figure of book did not improved. Author even started ignoring people. He then stops caring about any problems and this is how he solved his problems. Author even decides to kill himself and even being poor he goes to buy firearms.
Author meets a small girl who asks for help, but author initially refuses to help. Author makes a discussion about the people who are living near his flat. He comes back to kill himself but then does not kills him citing some reasons. Author explains how people react when someone dies.
"I had expected complete non-existence, and that was why I had put a bullet through my heart." Author explains why he dislikes human beings. It explains his journey outside earth and how sun looks like.
