Und was für Gedanken! – Gott ist tot – und damit die Idee von den Menschen, die alle gleich sind. Der Mensch, wie er heute ist, muss überwunden werden durch den "Übermenschen", der ein Schaffender und ein Wollender ist. Der neue Mensch ist ein sich selbst Liebender und ein vom Willen zur Macht über sich selbst Beseelter.

As he paints a vivid picture of Russian society, Dostoyevsky shows how principles conflict with emotions - with tragic results.

Sayon Hughes, a young Black man from Bristol, dreams of a world far removed from the one in which he was raised.
