Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is a Russian novelist who is considered by many people to be one of the greatest writers ever. His first novel, Poor Folk, appeared in 1846. In 1849 he was arrested for his socialist beliefs, and was sent to a prison settlement in Siberia for four years. In 1859, he published the humorous Village of Stepanchikovo, and two years later – The House of the Dead, where he recalled his prison experiences. He lived abroad for some time, but returned to Russia in 1871.

His novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed and the great work of his last years, The Karamazov Brothers, all show his genius for psychological analysis of character and creating narrative tension.

Notes: settlement – поселение

“Crime and Punishment” – “Преступление и наказание”

“The Possessed” – “Бесы”

narrative tension – напряженность повествования

CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens’ novels made him the most popular British writer of the 19th century, and are still very popular today. When he was only 12, his father was imprisoned for debt and Charles had to go to work in a factory, as did the hero of his David Copperfield.

At the age of 17 he became a reporter, but only when he was 22, he found permanent work on the staff of a London newspaper. The publica­tion of the first part of the Pickwick Papers, made him famous. This was followed by Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, and others.

Dickens’ books contain humorous characters with unusual names, many of whom have become very well-known. But they also show how hard life was in Victorian England for poor people, especially in his later novels Dombey and Son, Hard Times, Great Expectations.

5.1 Read the text and list seven bad habits. Name good health habits. What is a healthy diet?

We have different bad habits. Few of us will die of pride, envy or anger. There are, however, modern health habits which are in fact far more dangerous.

Two of them, obesityandphysical inactivity, are known from ancient times. They are joined by the modern bad habits: smoking and drinking too much alcohol, and the surprising ‘danger’ of sleeping too much or too little, eating between meals and skipping breakfast. In combination, these poor health habits could double the chance of dying or lead to different diseases for those who survive.

Of course, sleeping too much or too little, snacking and skipping breakfast are not quite as deadly as smoking, obesity and drinking. But they are indicative of dangerously chaotic lifestyles.

Regularity in life promotes your health. Sleeping seven or eight hours, getting up early, eating breakfast, a healthy diet and regular mealsis really a good way to live.
