Autorenporträt

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian writer known for his exploration of the tense political and social atmosphere in nineteenth-century Russia. With a deep interest in religion and the human condition, his writing is largely philosophical, and he's recognised as one of the first authors of existentialist fiction. He's one of the most influential writers in literary history, his works including 'Crime and Punishment' (1866), 'The Idiot' (1869), and 'Notes from the Underground' (1864).
