| The collected works of Fyodor Dostoevsky |
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was born on November 11, 1821, in Moscow, Russia. He was the second of seven children of Mikhail Andreevich and Maria Dostoevsky.
His father, a doctor, was a member of the Russian nobility, owned serfs, and had a considerable estate near Moscow where he lived with his family. It's believed that he was murdered by his own serfs in revenge for the violence he would commit against them while in drunken rages. As a child, Fyodor was traumatized when he witnessed the rape of a young female serf and suffered from epileptic seizures.
His writing is so rich and his characters are some of the most real I have come across. They have real feelings and real thoughts. Then Dostoyevsky has some intense philosophical paragraphs hidden in dialogue. His novels are dense but well worth the read while offering some quotes that will stick with you.
