Resumen:
stoevsky¿s novels are pure philosophy,¿ declared Luigi Pareyson (1918¿1991), an Italian existentialist. He presents a Christian Dostoevsky capable of overcoming the nihilistic onslaught of a post-Christian culture, both in its harshest and ¿weaker¿ and postmodern versions. Nietzsche finds a good antagonist in Dosto-evsky, who, being earlier in time, will be able to overcome Nihilism. Before being a Christian, the Russian novelist had already descended into hell out of nowhere, in his exile in Siberia. He survived this ordeal ¿ which inevitably led him to nowhere ¿ and paradoxically found Jesus Christ. That is why his novels and his ideas can offer a shelter at this turn of the millennium
