Book Details
"Although the pace has quickened, the serene and magnificent persistence that Joseph Frank brought to his five volumes resonates fully in this distilled story. If (as Frank tells us) Dostoevsky 'felt ideas,' then Frank 'feels biography' at any scale, with a perfect sense of proportion."-Caryl Emerson, Princeton University, author of The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Literature"[This book] ensures Frank's status as the definitive literary biographer of one of the best fiction writers ever."-David Foster Wallace"The editing and deep thought that have gone into this magnificent one-volume condensation of Frank's magnum opus are to be greatly admired. This is the best biography of Dostoevsky, the best reading of some of the major novels, the best cultural history of nineteenth-century Russia. Just the best."-Robin Feuer Miller, Brandeis University, author of Dostoevsky's Unfinished Journey
