Louis Breger, a clinical psychologist and literary scholar, presents a deeply researched study that traces the autobiographical threads woven throughout masterworks such as Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot. Drawing on Dostoevsky's turbulent life — marked by epilepsy, gambling addiction, imprisonment in Siberia, and the trauma of near-execution — Breger illuminates how personal anguish was transmuted into some of the nineteenth century's most enduring fiction. The result is a compelling dual portrait of the man and his art, written with both scholarly rigour and genuine literary passion, that fundamentally reframes how readers understand Dostoevsky's creative genius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956348137691,"sku":"2026200008332-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/199c0a6c-adae-4f78-9d50-93bb024808b4.png?v=1783500009","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008332-secondhand-dostoevsky-the-author-as-psychoanalyst","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
