HEROES OF DOSTOEVSKY, RUSSIAN NAMES AND REALITIES IN THE WORKS OF PÍO BAROJA
Among all the famous Spanish writers Pio Baroja (1872-1956) stands out as an author of three novels in which Russian characters not only appear, but are presented densely, in a variety; Baroja is interested in them particularly as in Russians. These are “A City of Fog” (1909), “The World Is Ainsí” (1912) and “The Perverted Sensuality” (1920). Another interesting and characteristic feature is the very early approach of Baroja to the “Russian theme”: in 1890 he published thirteen newspaper articles under the title “Russian literature”. One of them, posted below in Russian translation, is dedicated to Dostoevsky.
