Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881)

See biography, media, quotes, indexes. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist and writer of fiction whose works, including Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, have had a profound and lasting effect on intellectual thought and world literature. Dostoevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was named by Walter Kaufmann as the "best overture for existentialism ever written." — Excerpted from Fyodor Dostoevsky on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
