		Dostoevsky was arrested and imprisoned on April 23 1849 for engaging in revolutionary activity against Tsar Nikolai I.
		Dostoevsky's influence cannot be overemphasized; from Herman Hesse to Marcel Proust, William Faulkner, Albert Camus, Ayn Rand, Franz Kafka, Friedrich Nietzsche, Henry Miller, Yukio Mishima, Gabriel García Márquez, Jack Kerouac and Joseph Heller.
		Dostoevsky's novels are compressed in time (many cover only a few days) and this enables the author to get rid of one of the dominant traits of realist prose, the corrosion of human life in the process of the time flux — his characters primarily embody spiritual values, and these are, by definition, timeless.

		Dostoevsky's appearance at the Pushkin Festival in June 1880, which preceded his death by one year, marked the apotheosis of his career--and of his life as a spokesman for the Russian spirit.
		Dostoevsky: The Mantle of the Prophet, 1871-1881 is the long-awaited final volume by Joseph Frank, Professor of Comparative Literature Emeritus at Princeton University and Professor of Comparative Literature and Slavic Languages and Literature Emeritus at Stanford University.
		Of particular interest is Frank's discussion of Dostoevsky's philosophical thinking (framed, of course, within a Christian worldview), such as his ruminations on Russian nationalism, rational egoism, and the freedom of the will, and his grave concerns over the adverse moral and political effects of atheism and nihilism.

	little blue light - Fyodor Dostoevsky
		Fyodor Dostoevsky was the second of seven children born into a middle class but upwardly mobile family headed by Mikhail, a stern ex-military physician, and Mariia, his cultured, kindly wife.
		In 1839, Dostoevsky’s father was killed by his own serfs, an event which fostered an intense guilt in young Fyodor because he had often wished for his father's death during his miserable youth, leading some to speculate that this guilt was behind the writer's later epileptic fits.
		The young Dostoevsky was shy, vain, very sure of his talent and irascible, an attitude which, despite his sympathy with the poor and his liberal ideas, alienated many of his early supporters.

		Sonia, the pathetic girl of the streets through whom the hero learns the lesson of purification, represents the humility and devotion which are to Dostoevsky the saving virtues which are one day to save Russia.
