About the Books
Fyodor Dostoevsky remains one of literature's most psychologically penetrating novelists, and this twelve-book set gathers the essential range of his fiction. Crime and Punishment follows Raskolnikov's murder and his agonizing path toward confession. The Brothers Karamazov, his final and most ambitious novel, weaves patricide and faith into a meditation on God and free will. The Idiot pits Prince Myshkin's radical goodness against a corrupt society, while The Devils portrays revolutionary nihilism tearing apart a provincial town. Notes from the Underground gives voice to literature's first true anti-hero, and The House of the Dead draws on Dostoevsky's own Siberian imprisonment. Shorter works round out the set: The Gambler channels his own roulette addiction, Poor Folk explores poverty through letters, The Double follows a clerk's descent into madness, White Nights is a tender tale of fleeting romance, The Eternal Husband examines jealousy, and A Gentle Creature closes the set with a haunting meditation on guilt.

About the Author
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in world literature. Born in Moscow, he studied engineering before turning to writing, and his brush with a firing squad and Siberian exile shaped his fiction's obsession with suffering, faith, and redemption. His novels explore human psychology within the turbulent atmosphere of nineteenth-century Russia. Today, Dostoevsky is celebrated as a founding influence on existentialist thought and the modern psychological novel.
