Why do stories written more than 15 0 years ago still feel painfully modern? In this Read & Talk session\, we ’ll dive into excerpts from Fyodor Dostoevsky’s legendary novella Note s From Underground\, one of the most influential works in modern literatur e and a major inspiration behind films like Taxi Driver. Just yesterday\, Ben hosted Held the Taxi Driver Watch & Talk\, a film which is inspired by the same novella and themes. This session continues the exploration of lo neliness\, madness\, alienation\, resentment\, and moral decay by going di rectly to one of the original sources that shaped generations of writers\, filmmakers\, philosophers\, and psychologists. Together\, we’ll slowly read key passages\, unpack the ideas behind them\, and discuss why the “ Underground Man” still feels so recognisable today. Dostoevsky is often considered one of the greatest and most psychologically insightful writers in human history\, influencing everyone from Nietzsche and Freud to moder n cinema and existential philosophy. But this session is absolutely not on ly for literature experts or heavy readers. You don’t need to know anyth ing about Dostoevsky\, or even enjoy reading normally\, to get something m eaningful from this experience. The excerpts will be short\, accessible\, and deeply discussion-driven. We’ll explore questions about self-awarene ss\, shame\, loneliness\, ego\, freedom\, and the strange ways people some times sabotage themselves and others. Expect a thoughtful\, cultured\, and surprisingly modern conversation about what it means to be human when con nection starts to break down. 长期深陷孤独，内心慢慢滋生怨 念、猜忌，甚至做出自我消耗的行为，人会产生怎样的 变化？一百五十多年前创作的文学作品，为何放到如今 依旧能让人产生强烈共鸣？本次共读活动节选陀思妥耶 夫斯基经典中篇小说《地下室手记》内容品读，这部作 品影响力深远，也是《出租车司机》等影视作品的创作 灵感来源。此前 Ben 刚开展完同名主题影片赏析活动，影 片创作灵感便源自这部小说。 [...] DTSTAMP:20260615T141104Z LOCATION:China\,\, Shanghai SUMMARY:Read & Talk: Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground - Isolation & Mora l Decay END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
