Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time

"A monumental achievement. This is not a literary biography in the usual sense of the term. It is, rather, an exhaustive history of Dostoevsky's mind, an encyclopedic account of the author as major novelist and thinker, essayist and editor, journalist and polemicist. Wrought with tireless love and boundless ingenuity,"—New York Times. 979 pages, softcover. Princeton University.
