Dostoevsky: His Life and Work - Softcover

"No scholar has made such exhaustive and revealing use of all the evidence of the notebooks ... In an attempt to clarify Dostoevsky's art and thought."--New York Times Book Review "An extensive study of the development of Dostoevsky's creative art and intellectual thought by an analysis in depth of the total corpus of his writings."--Ernest J. Simmons, New York Times

Konstantin Mochulsky's critical biography is, in the words of George Gibian, "the best single work in any language about Dostoevsky's work as a whole." Through its close and insightful analysis of individual writings, relating them to his personal life and fortunes, it provides a sustained account of Dostoevsky's evolution as a novelist. Already established as a modern classic in the original Russian and in the French translation, this superb book is now available in English.
