This is the first full-length study in English of Camus's life-long
fascination with the works of the Russian writer Feodor Dostoevsky.
The purpose of the book is to demonstrate the ways in which
Dostoevsky's thought and fiction served to stimulate and
crystallize Camus's own thinking. Davison lucidly identifies the
lines of divergence and counter-arguments which Camus produced as
answers to the challenge of Dostoevsky's Christian/Tzarist vision
of life. The traditional methods of comparative literary criticism
are jettisoned in favour of the more exciting claim that Camus's
literary and philosophical texts can be read as precise and
detailed replies to some of Dostoevsky's central beliefs about
immortality, religion and politics. The study ranges freely over
the entirety of the works of both major writers.
