Now Frank's monumental, 2,500-page work has been skillfully abridged and condensed in this single, highly readable volume with a new preface by the author. Carefully preserving the original work's acclaimed narrative style and combination of biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism, Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time illuminates the writer's works-from his first novel Poor Folk to Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov-by setting them in their personal, historical, and above all ideological context. More than a biography in the usual sense, this is a cultural history of nineteenth-century Russia, providing both a rich picture of the world in which Dostoevsky lived and a major reinterpretation of his life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680544530672,"sku":"NEW0691155992","price":29.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/dostoevsky-a-writer-in-his-time-by-frank-joseph","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
