Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoevsky

(1821-1881)

Russian novelist, journalist and short-story writer, Dostoevsky profoundly influenced 20th century novel-writing with his deep intellectual probing into the inner, dark recesses of human thoughts and feelings; many of his characters have split personalities or divided selves.

He is well-known for his novel "Crime and Punishment," and by the time he published his last work, "The Brothers Karamazov," he was considered one of Russia's greatest writers.
