About Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was born in Moscow in 1821. His debut the epistolary novella Poor Folk(1846) made his name. In 1849 he was arrested for involvement with the politically subversive 'Petrashevsky circle' and until 1854 he lived in a convict prison in Omsk Siberia. From this experience came The House of the Dead (1860-2). In 1860 he began the journal Vremya (Time). Already married he fell in love with one of his contributors Appollinaria Suslova eighteen years his junior and developed a ruinous passion for roulette. After the death of his first wife Maria in 1864 Dostoyevsky completed Notes from Underground and began work towards Crime and Punishment (1866). The major novels of his late period are The Idiot (1868) Demons(1871-2) and The Brothers Karamazov (1879-80). He died in 1881.
