What emerged was a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in prerevolutionary Russia--a novel that is rivalled only by \"The Brothers Karamazov as Dostoevsky's greatest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFYODOR MIKAILOVICH DOSTOEVSKY'\u003ci\u003es\u003c\/i\u003e life was as dark and dramatic as the great novels he wrote. He was born in Moscow in 1821. A short first novel, \u003ci\u003ePoor Folk \u003c\/i\u003e(1846) brought him instant success, but his writing career was cut short by his arrest for alleged subversion against Tsar Nicholas I in 1849. His prison experiences coupled with his conversion to a profoundly religious philosophy formed the basis for his great novels. But it was his fortuitous marriage to Anna Snitkina, following a period of utter destitution brought about by his compulsive gambling, that gave Dostoevsky the emotional stability to complete \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment \u003c\/i\u003e(1866), \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot\u003c\/i\u003e (1868-69), \u003ci\u003e Demons \u003c\/i\u003e(1871-72), and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov \u003c\/i\u003e(1879-80).
