Fyodor has three sons: Dmitry, the eldest, who is passionate and emotional; Ivan, a detached intellectual; and Alyosha, the youngest, who is pious and loving. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761553884/Dostoyevsky_Fyodor_Mikhaylovich.html   (1340 words)

ReadingGroupGuides.com - Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was born in 1821 at a Moscow hospital where his father was employed as a doctor. Dostoyevsky's mother, Maria, was loving and religious; his father, Mikhail, tended toward alcoholism and violence, and his cruel behavior toward the peasants on their small estate resulted in his murder when Fyodor was eighteen years old. Dostoyevsky was imprisoned at the Peter and Paul Fortress where he and others were subject to a mock execution-an understandably traumatic experience which seems to have triggered an epileptic condition that would plague Dostoyevsky throughout his life. www.readinggroupguides.com /guides2/crime_and_punishment_author.asp   (568 words)

Fyodor Dostoevsky Biography Dostoyevsky rarely mentioned his father's murder, but Oedipal themes are recurrent in his work, and Sigmund Freud suggested that the novelist's epilepsy was a manifestation of guilt over his repressed wish for his father's death. Dostoyevsky described his life as a prisoner in Zapiski iz myortvogo doma (1862; The House of the Dead), a novel demonstrating both an insight into the criminal mind and an understanding of the Russian lower classes. Dostoyevsky was released from the prison camp in 1854; however, he was forced to serve as a soldier in a Siberian garrison for an additional five years. people.brandeis.edu /~teuber/dostoevskybio.html   (2802 words)

Biography of Fyodor Dostoyevsky Fyodor Dostoyevsky's first published story was 'Poor Folk' in 1846 and it proved a great success, but just three years later Dostoyevsky was sentenced to death for being part of the 'Petrashevsky Circle' - a socialist group.

Last check: 2007-11-04) Finally, Dostoyevsky was reacting to the political climate in St. Petersburg, where the impulses of the revolution could be found in the nihilist and radical movements, which Dostoyevsky abhorred. Dostoyevsky intimates himself so closely with Roskolnikov's consciousness, and describes his turmoil and angst so precisely and exhaustively, that it is easy to forget that the events take place over the course of a mere two weeks. The murder itself is almost incidental to the novel; Dostoyevsky devotes no more than a few pages to describing its execution, although he details the painful vacillations that precede the incident and, of course, exposes every aspect of its aftermath. www.readinggroupguides.com /guides2/crime_and_punishment.asp   (1157 words)

Last check: 2007-11-04) Dostoyevsky's penetrating novel of an intellectual whose moral compass goes haywire, and the detective who hunts him down for his terrible crime, is a stunning psychological portrait, a thriller and a profound meditation on guilt and retribution. One of Dostoyevsky's very best : "Crime and Puishment" is the story of an intellectual young man who decides to kill an old woman for purely philosophical reasons. A few comments and an interesting fact : Dostoyevski's underground man character, although conceived in 1864, presages by more than 50 years the alienation and disaffection that became so widespread in the 20th century, especially in the so.called "lost generation" that grew up between the two world wars... books.mysic.com /Author/Fyodor_Dostoyevsky   (1516 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Books: Notes from Underground   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) This book was one of the first he wrote after his release from prison and it lays out the philosophical position that was to underpin those later books. Unfortunately, I feel that Dostoyevsky is at his best when weaving those ideas into a narrative, and the very explicit way he sets them down here isn't, I think, where his strengths lie. Having read Dostoyevsky previously I must say I was still overwhelmed by the power of his words in this book. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/1400041910   (1258 words)

Amazon.com: Books: The Brothers Karamazov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) In his most comprehensive (and not coincidentally, his final) masterpiece, Dostoyevsky addresses and discusses a number of the most fundamental and universal issues which face man. His multiple perspectives are embodied in seperate characters -- taken together, these characters form the whole of the Karamazov family, and these perspectives constitute the whole of Dostoyevsky's view. While the murder of their father, Fyodor Karamazov, is the catalyst to the real action of the book, it is certainly not the central focus -- a fact that might be surmised in light of the fact that the murder is not carried out until more than halfway through the text. The characters of the brothers and the events of their lives made for the complex and fascinating story of exceptional proportions, where faith, meekness, atheism, indifference and slavery to negative instincts and impulses are often in conflict. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553212168?v=glance   (2313 words)
