Summary:

This second book in a three-volume work on the young Fyodor Dostoevsky is a diary-portrait of his early years drawn from letters, memoirs, and criticism of the writer, as well as from the testimony and witness of family and friends, readers and reviewers, and observers and participants in his life. The result of an exhaustive search of published materials on Dostoevsky, this volume sheds crucial light on the many unexplored corners of Dostoevsky's life in the time between the success of his first novel, Poor Folk, and the failure of his next four works. The book lets the original writers speak for themselves - the good and the bad, the truth and the lies - and includes extensive notes with correctives, counterarguments, and other pertinent information.

Contents:

Pride Before the Fall : Belinsky and the Aftermath of Poor Folk

Havens from the Storms : The Vielgorskys, Beketovs, and Maykovs

The Psycho-Spiritual Turn : The Double, "Mr. Prokharchin," "The Landlady," and "A Novel in Nine Letters."
