Bobok Book by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Farsi)

Description

"Bobok" is a satirical short story written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, known for its dark humor and exploration of existential themes. The story is set in a graveyard during a funeral feast, where the protagonist, Ivan Ivanovich, overhears the conversations of the deceased in their graves. To his shock, the dead engage in a comical and often cynical dialogue, discussing their lives, sins, and the afterlife. As Ivan listens to the posthumous banter, he becomes increasingly disturbed by the revelations of the deceased, which include petty squabbles, gossip, and confessions of misdeeds. The story takes a surreal turn when the dead start discussing a mysterious and ominous event called the "Bobok," where they claim to have glimpses of the beyond. "Bobok" showcases Dostoevsky's ability to blend satire with philosophical inquiry.
