Description: With a bounty of 63 illustrations and photographs, this succinct new account (1978) of Dostoyevsky's life and work, Ronald Hingley strikingly demonstrates how his extraordinary novels grew directly out of the pressures of their creator's tormented experience and personality. Hingley draws upon important fresh source material which includes the definitive Soviet edition of Dostoyevsky's works with drafts and variants published from 1972 onward, recent Soviet research on the circumstances of his father's death, and a newly deciphered section of the diary of his second wife, Anna. Hingley considers within his narrative all of Dostoyevsky's works, the ideas they contain, their varying artistic success, and their contemporary critical reception.
