Autorenporträt
Russian author and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in Moscow on November 11, 1821. He is recognised as one of the finest novels of all time and is renowned for his deep psychological understanding and his exploration of moral and religious issues. Dostoevsky experienced hardship and sorrow in his early years, including the loss of his mother when he was a small child and his own eventual arrest and exile in Siberia due to his involvement in politics. His work, which often deals with themes of pain, redemption, and the human condition, was profoundly influenced by these events. The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, and Notes from Underground are just a few of Dostoevsky's best-known works. His works are renowned for their examination of existential and philosophical topics, sophisticated narratives, and colorful, multifaceted characters. The writings of Dostoevsky have had a significant impact on contemporary thought and literature. At the age of 59, Dostoevsky passed away in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 9, 1881. Even now, people commemorate and research his legacy.
