About the Author

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (November 11 [O.S. October 30]
1821 – February 9 [O.S. January 28] 1881) is considered one of two
greatest prose writers of Russian literature, alongside close
contemporary Leo Tolstoy. Dostoevsky's works have had a profound
and lasting effect on twentieth-century thought and world
literature. Dostoevsky's chief ouevre, mainly novels, explore the
human psychology in the disturbing political, social and spiritual
context of his 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as
a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes
from Underground (1864), written in the anonymous, embittered voice
of the Underground Man, is considered by Walter Kaufmann as the
"best overture for existentialism ever written."
