This is a memoir written by Dostoevsky's wife, Mrs. Anna, and I fell in love with Dostoevsky from the bottom of my heart after reading this book.

Dostoevsky is a useless man who becomes addicted to gambling and becomes a stooge. This is a wonderful biography that shows many unexpected facets of Dostoevsky, such as Dostoevsky who continues to write even though he suffers for his living, a loving wife, and a childless man. Please read it. You will love Dostoevsky!

As the book title suggests, this biography contains a large number of photographs and drawings. This is the main feature of this biography.

This biography is a clear departure from previous biographies that have focused on the written word.

This biography reminds me of a Japanese history resource book I had when I was in junior high or high school. That book was full of pictures and illustrations.

You will find more and more illustrations of Dostoevsky's works, Russian landscapes, and portraits of people associated with Dostoevsky that you had never seen before.

A very useful biography for reference!

In other biographies, the biographer writes the story through Dostoevsky's works, letters, and other sources, but Dolinin, the author of this work, does not use such a method.

The biography is unique in that it is entirely in the voices of those who had direct contact with Dostoevsky.

This allows for a different portrayal of Dostoevsky than other biographies and a more realistic view of the life Dostoevsky spent.

It was especially interesting to see Dostoevsky when he was a student.

The author, Grossman, was a prominent Soviet scholar born in Odessa in 1888. In this biography, Grossman will focus on what Dostoevsky read, what he thought, and what he produced from it. In that sense, this biography, as hard-looking as it may seem, is a very useful biography for anyone trying to study Dostoevsky.

The distinctive feature of Henri Troyer's biography is its narrative narration.

As I read on, I somehow became emotionally involved with Dostoevsky, and I almost cried at the moment of Dostoevsky's glory in his last days. It was as if I was reading a moving narrative novel.

The life of the struggling Dostoevsky flows before your eyes as if you are watching a movie.

This is a highly recommended Dostoevsky biography.
