Binata by Fyodor Dostoevsky [Hardcover]

"The thing is, this is not a story, nor is it a collection of fragmented anecdotes. Just imagine the state of mind of the husband, when the dead body of the woman who jumped out of the window to commit suicide a few hours ago is lying on the table in the house. He is confused, still unable to organize his thoughts properly. He is pacing around the house, trying to comprehend what has happened and gather his thoughts at one point. Moreover, the man is highly obsessive; he is one of those who talks to himself. So, he keeps talking to himself, recounting everything that happened, trying to make it clear to himself."

This passage vividly captures the tumultuous emotions and inner turmoil experienced by the character.
