A beautiful boxed set of Dostoyevsky's three greatest novels
This stunning clothbound set, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, brings together Dostoyevsky's three greatest novels in modern translations from Penguin Classics. In The Brothers Karamazov, a murder changes the lives of four brothers forever; in Crime and Punishment a student commits an appalling act of random violence; and in The Idiot, a gentle and naive aristocrat finds himself drawn into a web of blackmail and betrayal.
About the Author
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) was born in Moscow in 1821. His debut, the epistolary novella Poor Folk (1846), made his name. In 1849 he was arrested for involvement with the politically subversive 'Petrashevsky circle' and until 1854 he lived in a convict prison in Omsk, Siberia. From this experience came The House of the Dead (1860-2). In 1860 he began the journal Vremya (Time). After the death of his first wife, Maria, in 1864, Dostoyevsky completed Notes from Underground and began work towards Crime and Punishment (1866). The major novels of his late period are The Idiot (1868), Demons (1871-2) and The Brothers Karamazov (1879-80).
