Dostoevsky

Summary: excellent overview of Dostoevsky's life and works
Review: A professor of Russian literature recommended this biography to me, citing it as one of the most complete Dostoevsky biographies available. I was not disappointed. Mochulsky covers Dostoevsky's life and creative output, and gives rather detailed analysis of the major works (The Brothers K, The Idiot, and The Possessed among them) for such a relatively short book. The English translation is very readable. However, I am not sure that Mochulsky is particularly accessible to readers who do not know anything about Russia. The fact that he is Russian and writing about a great Russian author seems to me to be a major component of this book.
