This second book in a three-volume work on the young Fyodor
Dostoevsky is a diary-portrait of his early years drawn from
letters, memoirs, and criticism of the writer, as well as from the
testimony and witness of family and friends, readers and reviewers,
and observers and participants in his life. The result of an
exhaustive search of published materials on Dostoevsky, this volume
sheds crucial light on the many unexplored corners of Dostoevsky's
life in the time between the success of his first novel, Poor Folk,
and the failure of his next four works. Thomas Gaiton Marullo lets
the original writers speak for themselves-the good and the bad, the
truth and the lies-and adds extensive notes with correctives,
counterarguments, and other pertinent information. Marullo looks
closely at Dostoevsky's increasingly tense ties with Vissarion
Belinsky, Nikolai Nekrasov, Ivan Turgenev, and other figures of the
Russian literary world. He then turns to the individuals who
afforded Dostoevsky security and peace amid the often negative
reception from fellow writers and readers of his early fiction.
Finally, Marullo shows us Dostoevsky's break with the Belinsky
circle; his struggle to stay afloat emotionally and financially;
and his determination to succeed as a writer while staying true to
his vision, most notably, his insights into human psychology that
would become a hallmark of his later fiction. This clear and
comprehensive portrait of one of the world's greatest writers
provides a window into his younger years in a way no other
biography has to date.
