卡夫卡与陀思妥耶夫斯基

卡夫卡的思想和创作明显地受到过陀思妥耶夫斯基的影响,卡夫卡声称自己和陀思妥耶夫斯基有某种血亲关系.卡夫卡的作品弥漫着一种陀思妥耶夫斯基"地下室"或"死屋"的气息,而他笔下的"弱的形象"也颇有陀思妥耶夫斯基"小人物"的精神和特征,至于他的怀疑、迷惘、焦虑和探索等,也都能从陀思妥耶夫斯基那里找到某种精神渊源.陀思妥耶夫斯基无疑是卡夫卡的先行者,但卡夫卡跟随这位先行者,却走出了完全属于自己的路.

Kafka and Dostoevsky

Kafka was obviously in? uenced in his thinking and works by Dostoevsky.He claimed to have some blood relationship with Dostoevsky.His works teem with an air of the "underground" or "death room" typical of Dostoevsky.The weak characters in Kafka's works are similar to Dostoevsky's "small potatoes".Kafka's doubts,perplexity,misgivings and exploration all had their origins in Dostoevsky.Dostoevsky was a forerunner before Kafka,who,however,took a road that only belonged to himself.
