(“Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky” was a Russian

and philosopher)

.

Dostoyevsky’s literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of 1800s Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes.

He began writing in his 20s, and his first novel, Poor Folk, was published in 1846 when he was 25.

His major works include 

Crime and Punishmen t(1866), 

The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and 

The Brothers Karamazov (1880)

.

dostoyevsky’s oeuvre consists of…

11 novels,

3 novellas,

17 short stories

and numerous other works.

.

Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature.

His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature.

Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoyevsky was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends, and through books by Russian and foreign authors.

His mother died in 1837 when he was 15, and around the same time he left school to enter the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute.

After graduating, he worked as an engineer and briefly enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, translating books to earn extra money.

In the mid-1840s he wrote his first novel, Poor Folk, which gained him entry into St. Petersburg’s literary circles.

In the following years, Dostoyevsky worked as a journalist, publishing and editing several magazines of his own and later A Writer’s Diary, a collection of his writings.

He began to travel around western Europe and developed a gambling addiction, which led to financial hardship.

For a time, he had to beg for money, but he eventually became one of the most widely read and highly regarded Russian writers.

His books have been translated into more than 170 languages.

Dostoyevsky was influenced by an incredible variety of philosophers and authors including Pushkin, Gogol, Shakespeare, Dickens, Balzac, Lermontov, Hugo, Poe, Plato, Cervantes, Herzen, Kant, Belinsky, Hegel, Schiller, Solovyov, Bakunin, Sand, Hoffmann, and Mickiewicz

.

(his writings were widely read both within and beyond his native Russia and influenced an equally great number of later writers and philosophers including Russians like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Anton Chekhov as well as…)
