This landmark biographical work chronicles the most creatively explosive period in Fyodor Dostoevsky's life, spanning the years 1865 to 1871. Joseph Frank, widely regarded as the definitive English-language biographer of Dostoevsky, presents a richly detailed account of the years that produced Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Possessed. With scholarly precision and narrative verve, Frank illuminates the personal torments, financial crises, and philosophical ferment that drove Dostoevsky's greatest literary achievements. This fourth volume in Frank's monumental five-part biography argues that Dostoevsky's genius was inseparable from his suffering, and illustrates how the novelist transformed his lived experience into timeless works of psychological and moral depth.
