Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist whose books probe faith, doubt, guilt and freedom. Arrested in 1849 for belonging to a radical circle, he faced a mock execution and spent four years in a Siberian prison camp. His major novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot, Demons and The Brothers Karamazov (1879–80).
