Opis

This book, first published in 1978, demonstrates how Dostoyevsky’s novels grew directly out of the pressures of their creator’s tormented experience and personality. It draws upon important fresh source material, and considers all Dostoyevsky’s works, the ideas they contain, their artistic success and critical reception.
