The difficult fate of the greatest Russian classic Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky gave him the ground for many thoughts. During his lifetime, he was not understood by his contemporaries, but after his death his work was recognized as the most valuable in Russian literature.
early years
On October 30, 1821, one of the most prominent and world-famous Russian writers, Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, was born in Moscow. He grew up in a family that obeys strictly patriarchal orders, in which there were seven children. The life and routine of the whole Dostoevsky house depended on the service regime of the father of the family, who worked as a physician in a local hospital. At six o’clock, at twelve o’clock - lunch, and at exactly nine o’clock in the evening the family had dinner, read prayers and went to bed. The routine was repeated day after day. At family evenings and events, parents often read the greatest work of Russian literature and history, which added up the creative mindset of the future writer.
When Fyodor Mikhailovich was only 16 years old, his mother suddenly died. His father was forced to send Fedor and his older brother, Mikhail, to the Main Engineering School in St. Petersburg, even though both boys dreamed of doing literature.
Fedor Mikhailovich did not like studying at all, because he was sure that this was not his calling. He devoted all his free time to reading and translating literature, both domestic and foreign. In 1838, he and his comrades created a circle of literature, which included Berezhetsky, Beketov, Grigoriev. Five years later, Dostoevsky was given the position of engineer, but he left her a year later and devoted himself to creativity.
In 1845, a Russian writer publishes one of his most famous novels, Poor People. He was called the "new Gogol." Nevertheless, the very next work, The Double, was very coldly received by critics and the public. After that, he tried himself in various genres - comedy, tragicomedy, short story, novel, novel.
Accusations and reference
Dostoevsky was convicted of spreading criminal thoughts against religion, although he denied all the charges. He was sentenced to death, but at the last moment the decision was canceled and replaced with four-year hard labor in Omsk. In the work "The Idiot" Fedor Mikhailovich conveyed his feelings before the execution, and he painted the image of the main character from himself. The story of serving penal servitude is described in Notes from the Dead House.
