Dostoevsky. A horseman in the desert. Saraskina L.

“Dostoevsky is the same as Russia, with all its darkness and light. And he is the greatest contribution of Russia to the spiritual life of the whole world. ” These are the words of N. Berdyaev, but other researchers of the work of the great writer who discovered in the soul of man such abysses of good and evil agree with them that all the previous world literature could not imagine. In the great works of Dostoevsky, his fate is fully reflected - the mysterious death of his father, the years of poverty and spiritual searches, hard labor and soldier for participating in the revolutionary circle, a difficult ascent to the glory that made him both in life and posthumously - an object as enthusiastic praise , and fierce attacks. Details of the writer’s life, up to the most unknown and “uncomfortable”, are fully reflected in his new biography belonging to the Peru Lyudmila Saraskina, a famous historian of literature, the author of fifteen books dedicated to Dostoevsky and his contemporaries.
