This compilation features seven works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, showcasing his profound psychological insight into the human soul, which significantly influenced 20th-century literature. Dostoyevsky, a Russian novelist, journalist, and short-story writer, was born as the second son of a former army doctor. He received his education at home and in a private school, but his life took a dramatic turn after the death of his mother in 1837. He moved to St. Petersburg to attend the Army Engineering College, where he faced further tragedy with the death of his father in 1839, rumored to be murdered by his serfs. After graduating as a military engineer, he resigned in 1844 to pursue writing, debuting with his novel, Poor Folk, in 1846. His involvement with utopian socialists led to his arrest in 1849 and a death sentence, later commuted to imprisonment in Siberia. He endured four years of hard labor followed by four years as a soldier in Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. Returning to St. Petersburg in 1854, Dostoyevsky emerged as a writer with a religious mission, producing works like The House of the Dead, which reflects his prison experiences, and The Insulted and Injured, addressing the complexities of evil and naive Utopianism.
