Order of Fyodor Dostoevsky Books

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian writer known for his novels, short stories, and essays, as well as his work as a journalist and philosopher. His writings delve into the psychology of 19th-century Russian society. Born in Moscow, Dostoevsky was exposed to fairy tales and legends from both Russian and foreign authors. In 1849, he was arrested for his participation in the literary discussion group known as the Petrashevsky Circle. He and his companions were sentenced to death, but at the last moment, a reprieve from Tsar Nicholas I commuted their sentences to four years of hard labor in Siberia. During this period, his health deteriorated, and he was later diagnosed with epilepsy. Alongside Leo Tolstoy, Dostoevsky is regarded as one of the most significant authors of the Golden Age of Russian literature. He published his first novel in 1846, with the novellas The Double and Poor Folk. His final work published before his death was The Brothers Karamazov.
