Description
Lectures on Dostoevsky by Joseph Frank provides an accessible introduction to Fyodor Dostoevsky's major works. This collection of never-before-published lectures offers a rich context for understanding the Russian novelist's life and literary influences. Presented here for the first time, these illuminating lectures explore Dostoevsky's breadth of career, from early works like Poor Folk and The Double to later masterpieces such as Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. Written in a conversational style that combines literary analysis and cultural history, Frank brings his unmatched knowledge of Dostoevsky's life and writings to a new generation of readers. The book also includes Frank's favorite review of his Dostoevsky biography, providing an additional insight into the author's perspective on the Russian writer.
