In an age before psychology was a modern scientific field, Fyodor
Dostoyevsky (November 11, 1821 - February 9, 1881) was a Russian
writer of realist fiction and essays that explored the depths of
the human psyche. Known for acclaimed novels Crime and Punishment,
The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoyevsky's work discusses
the human mind in a world full of political and social upheaval in
19th century Russia, becoming the forerunner of existentialism.
His most famous work was Crime and Punishment, first published
in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly
installments during 1866.
Dostoyevsky wrote the great novel after five years of exile in
a labor camp in Siberia, forced there by the Tsar. Crime and
Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St.
Petersburg who theorizes that he can perform good deeds to
counterbalance his crime, justifying his actions by referencing
Napoleon Bonaparte. The novel is considered one of the greatest
novels ever written.
