Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian novelist whose psychological masterpieces - 'Crime and Punishment,' 'The Brothers Karamazov,' 'The Idiot,' and 'Notes from Underground' - explored the darkest depths of human consciousness with unprecedented intensity. His work anticipated existentialism, psychoanalysis, and the modern novel's concern with alienation and moral choice.
