The present translation of the Reminiscences is based on the second
Russian edition, published in Moscow in 1971 and edited by the
Dostoevsky scholars S. V. Belov and V. A. Tunimanov. They have
carried Grossman's work further by rearranging the manuscript into
twelve broad chapters in chronological sequence, corresponding to
the most important periods in the life of Fyodor Dostoevsky's
family. This necessitated some transposition of material to where
it chronologically belonged, as well as the elimination of certain
redundant episodes left in the Grossman edition. Belov and
Tunimanov also added, as a first chapter, Anna Grigoryevna's
description of her childhood and youth and the milieu in which her
extraordinary character was formed. In the book's last chapter,
"After Dostoevsky's Death," they retained Anna Grigoryevna's
"Answer to Strakhov" and added to it her description of her only
meeting with Leo Tolstoy, not included in the Grossman edition. To
this chapter the translator of the present edition has also
restored the brief section "Memoirists," omitted from the second
Russian edition.
