FyodorDostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky was born in Moscow in 1821 and made his literary debut with the novel Poor Folk (1846), followed by The Double (1846) and White Nights (1847). After being arrested and sentenced to death by the Tsarist regime, his sentence was commuted to four years of hard labor in Siberia, an experience he recounted in The House of the Dead. After this period, he wrote Notes from Underground (1864), The Gambler (1867), The Eternal Husband (1870), and a series of great novels: Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), The Demons (1872), and The Adolescent (1875), culminating in the publication of The Brothers Karamazov in 1880. From 1873 until the year of his death, he also published Diary of a Writer, which brings together journalistic and fictional pieces. Recognized as one of the greatest authors of all time, Dostoyevsky died in St. Petersburg in 1881.
