Description
A book by the well-known literary scholar, Doctor of Philological Sciences Boris Sokolov, reveals the secrets of four of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s greatest novels—“Crime and Punishment,” “The Idiot,” “Demons,” and “The Brothers Karamazov.” Films and TV series have been made countless times based on these books, many of which found a place in the treasure vault of world cinema, and they have been successfully adapted in theaters all over the world.
What was the true origin of the Dostoevsky family? What was Dostoevsky’s path to God, and how did it show up in his novels? How did the author’s personal emotional struggles reflect in his works? Who were the prototypes of the revolutionary “demons”? What connects Nikolai Stavrogin with a legendary bogatyr? How did the scandalously famous Marquis de Sade influence Dostoevsky? Which poem served as the source of the famous legend about the “Grand Inquisitor”? What fate should have befell the heroes of “The Brothers Karamazov” in the second volume that Fyodor Mikhailovich never wrote? In this book, the reader will find answers to these and other questions about Dostoevsky’s life and work.
