Fyodor Dostoevsky
Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoevsky was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends, and through books by Russian and foreign authors. His novels include The Double, The House of the Dead, Crime and Punishment and The Idiot. Dostoevsky worked as a journalist, publishing and editing several magazines of his own and later A Writer’s Diary, a collection of his writings. His books have been translated into more than 170 languages, and served as the basis for many films. He died in 1881.
