Alles über Dostojewski

Fyodor Dostoevsky – the play with passions and drives. Murderers, masochists, or clairvoyant fools are often the unusual heroes in the works of the great Russian storyteller, including "Crime and Punishment," "The Demons," or "The Brothers Karamazov," which is considered "the greatest novel ever written" (Sigmund Freud). Klaus Städtke, an excellent expert on Dostoevsky, guides us through a world of passions, the quest for power, but also of inner transformation. His skillful retellings inevitably captivate the reader with these timeless masterpieces and their shocking events; in his afterword, he brings us closer to their creator. "Without him, humanity would know less about its innate mystery; from the heights of his work, we gaze further into the future than ever before." Stefan Zweig. Expanded new edition – featuring the most beautiful letters to his wife Anna Grigorievna Dostoevskaya.
