BOBOK, DE DOSTOIEVSKI

Resumo

ABSTRACT: In Dostoevsky's short story “Bobok”, a group of deceased plays cards and chats, mocking everything but telling only the truth, until the last traces of life, until the last sigh, an onomatopoeic sound: bobok, bobok, bobok.... In this paper, the Lucianic tradition is considered together with Bakthin's critique on Dostoevsky's poetics and the Menippean satire.
