Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821–1881), a colossus of Russian literature, remains revered for his profound exploration of human psychology, morality, and spirituality. Born in Moscow, the son of a doctor, Dostoyevsky was educated at the Moscow Cholmogory Military Engineering School before turning his focus to literature. His early works, including 'Poor Folk' (1846), gained him critical acclaim, yet his path took a tumultuous turn after being arrested and sentenced to death for engaging with utopian socialism. His sentence commuted to Siberian exile, these harrowing experiences permeated his subsequent masterpieces. Dostoyevsky's work, characterized by its deep character analysis, included novels such as 'Crime and Punishment' (1866), 'The Idiot' (1869), and 'The Brothers Karamazov' (1880), all found in 'Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Complete Works'. His literary style, marked by existential themes and complex, layered narratives, wielded significant influence over existential philosophy and modernist literature. Despite living through personal trials, including epilepsy and financial strife, Dostoyevsky's enduring legacy continues to spark discourse on the nature of good and evil, free will, and the human condition.
