“Es sabido que el pointer inglés ha cambiado mucho en el último siglo, y en este caso el cambio se ha efectuado, según se cree, mediante cruzamiento con el foxhound; pero lo que nos interesa es que el cambio se ha efectuado inconsciente y gradualmente, y, sin embargo, es tan positivo que, aunque el antiguo pointer español vino seguramente de España, míster Borrow, según me ha informado, no ha visto ningún perro indígena en España”

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian writer, essayist and philosopher, perhaps most recognized today for his novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was called by Walter Kaufmann the "best overture for existentialism ever written."
His tombstone reads "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." from John 12:24, which is also the epigraph of his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
