About Dostoyevsky:
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (November 11 [O.S.
October 30] 1821 – February 9 [O.S. January 28] 1881) is
considered one of two greatest prose writers of Russian
literature, alongside close contemporary Leo Tolstoy.
Dostoevsky’s works have had a profound and lasting effect on
twentieth-century thought and world literature. Dostoevsky’s
chief ouevre, mainly novels, explore the human psychology in
the disturbing political, social and spiritual context of his 19th-
century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or
precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from
Underground (1864), written in the anonymous, embittered
voice of the Underground Man, is considered by Walter
Kaufmann as the “best overture for existentialism ever
written.
