First published in 1861, this novel, based on Dostoevsky's own experience as a political prisoner, is a forerunner of his famous novels \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe characters and situations that Dostoevsky encountered in prison were so violent and extraordinary that they changed his psyche profoundly. Through that experience, he later said, he was resurrected into a new spiritual condition -- one in which he would create some of the greatest novels ever written. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluding an illuminating introduction by James Scanlan on Dostoevsky's prison years, this totally new translation by Boris Jakim captures Dostoevsky's semi-autobiographical narrative -- at times coarse, at times intensely emotional, at times philosophical -- in rich American English.","brand":"William B.
