slug: "fyodor-dostoevsky"
description: "Dostoevsky mapped the darkest corridors of the human psyche—guilt, obsession, faith collapsing under pressure—in novels that read like philosophical crime scenes. Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov still set the terms for how fiction handles consciousness in crisis."
tagline: "Russian novelist (1821–1881)"

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoevsky entered literature young and broke through with Poor Folk in the mid-1840s. Then in 1849 he was arrested for discussing banned books, sentenced to death, and reprieved at the execution ground—followed by four years in a Siberian labour camp and six more in military exile. He returned to write The House of the Dead, then spent the 1860s and '70s churning out The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov while editing magazines, gambling away money across Western Europe, and begging for cash. Notes from Underground became a template for existentialism; Nietzsche called him the only psychologist he could learn from. He died in 1881, translated into over 170 languages, with a claim on every writer who came after.
