A review by cpcabaniss
Dostoevsky by Richard Freeborn
3.0
This is a snapshot of Dostoevsky's life and works. It was an interesting overview of some of what he experienced and how this shaped his novels. It delved a little more into the actual plot of several of his stories rather than focusing on his life, which I had not expected as much.
A good overview with some fascinating information, but if you don't want to be spoiled about what happens in some of his major works (Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot) then you may want to read this after you've read his major works if you want to delve a little more into the mind behind the writing.
