Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (Russian: Фёдор Миха́йлович Достое́вский, Fëdor Mihajlovič Dostoevskij, sometimes transliterated Dostoyevsky
listen?) (November 11,1821 (October 30, old style) – February 9,1881 (January 28,old style) was a Russian writer. Many people see him as one of the greatest of Russian writers. His works have had a big effect on twentieth-century fiction. Very often, he wrote about characters who live in poor conditions. Those characters are sometimes in extreme states of mind. They might show both a strange grasp of human psychology as well as good analyses of the political, social and spiritual states of Russia of Dostoevsky's time. Many of his best-known works are prophetic. He is sometimes considered to be a founder of existentialism, most frequently for Notes from Underground, which has been described by Walter Kaufmann as the best overture for existentialism ever written. He is also famous for writing The Brothers Karamazov, which many critics have suggested one of the best novels ever written.[citation needit]
