Author Information

Bio of Fyodor Doestoyevsky

( 1821 AD - 1881 AD), Renowned Russian author and one of Russia's chief literary figures. Dostoevsky is known for his vital style of writing and timeless characters. Highly influential, he is regarded by some as an originator of existentialism. Dostoevsky was educated at St. Petersburg's Military Engineering Academy. In 1849, he was jailed for rebelling against the Tsar. The same year he was sent to a prison camp in Siberia for participating in anti-government activities. After his release in 1854, he served in the Siberian Regiment for the next five years - an experience which altered his thinking and views. The period from 1873 to 1881 was Dostoevsky's most productive as a writer. His monthly journal, The Writer's Diary, was a huge success. His major writings include The Double: A Petersburg Poem (1846), The Village of Stepanchikovo or The Friend of the Family (1859), A Nasty Story (1862), Crime and Punishment (1866), The Raw Youth or the Adolescent (1875), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880).
