This book collects over forty of Dostoyevsky's most representative essays, literary and art criticism, and diaries. These works span nearly his entire life, from his rise to fame as a rising star in the literary world to his sentence of exile in Siberia, and finally his speech at the dedication of the Pushkin Monument in Moscow a year before his death. These essays clearly reveal the various shifts in his thinking. Whether it's his views on various social issues, his reflections imbued with both love and concern for the people and his country, or his critiques of certain writers and works, they all reveal his deep sorrow for the ugly reality, his uneasiness about the future of his country, his people, and all of humanity, and his passionate pursuit of the finer qualities and future of humanity. Collected together, these essays offer a comprehensive glimpse into the soul and mind of one of the most complex and contradictory writers in Russian literary history, and offer insights into the essence of Russian literature.
