Ве́чер у Клэр - первый роман русского писателя-эмигранта Гайто Газданова, написанный в 1929 году. Критики встретили роман положительно и отмечали влияние Марселя Пруста. Повествование ведётся от имени молодого русского эмигранта Николая. Большая часть описываемых в романе событий представляют собой его воспоминания. Хотя действия происходят в прошлом, но автор часто возвращает читателя в современность, в мир парижской русской эмиграции.В романе нет деления на главы, но его можно разделить на события, происходившие до встречи с Клэр, и на воспоминания периода гражданской войны.Каждый период жизни имеет свой тематический центр Смерть отца;Обстановка в кадетском корпусе, которая передается посредством описания сна;Клэр;В центре - бронепоезд, который символизирует мотив постоянного отъезда, стремления к изменениям, познанию нового.Повествование в во многом автобиографично. При помощи вступительной части автор вводит читателя в основную сюжетную канву.Часть повествования представляет собой фантазии Николая (например, фантазии о Японии, Борнео, Суматре).

The two years before he wrote Crime and Punishment (1866) had been bad ones for Dostoyevsky. His wife and brother had died; the magazine he and his brother had started, Epoch, collapsed under its load of debt; and he was threatened with debtor's prison. With an advance that he managed to wangle for an unwritten novel, he fled to Wiesbaden, hoping to win enough at the roulette table to get himself out of debt. Instead, he lost all his money; he had to pawn his clothes and beg friends for loans to pay his hotel bill and get back to Russia. One of his begging letters went to a magazine editor, asking for an advance on yet another unwritten novel - which he described as Crime and Punishment. One of the supreme masterpieces of world literature, Crime and Punishment catapulted Dostoyevsky to the forefront of Russian writers and into the ranks of the world's greatest novelists. Drawing upon experiences from his own prison days, the author recounts in feverish, compelling tones the story of Raskolnikov, an impoverished student tormented by his own nihilism, and the struggle between good and evil. Believing that he is above the law, and convinced that humanitarian ends justify vile means, he brutally murders an old woman - a pawnbroker whom he regards as "stupid, ailing, greedy...good for nothing." Overwhelmed afterwards by feelings of guilt and terror, Raskolnikov confesses to the crime and goes to prison. There he realizes that happiness and redemption can only be achieved through suffering. Infused with forceful religious, social, and philosophical elements, the novel was an immediate success. This extraordinary, unforgettable work is reprinted here in the authoritative Constance Garnett translation.A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Through an analysis of suicide in Fyodor Dostoevsky's writings, Amy D. Ronner illustrates how his implicit awareness of self-homicide pre-figured theories of prominent suicidologists, shaped both his philosophy and craft as a writer, and forged a ligature between artistry and the pluripresent impulse to self-annihilate.
