Konstantin Mochulsky's critical biography is, in the words of George Gibian, the "best single work in any language about Dostoevsky's work as a whole." Joseph Frank has called it one of the "indispensable studies by Russian critics." An established classic, it is here available for the first time in paperback in English translation.
