Book Overview

2014 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. It is around these suppressed chapters from "The Possessed" that the dark legend of Dostoevsky as a Marquis de Sade has grown. Know by hearsay and magnified by rumor, Stavrogin's confession to the sexual abuse of a child has been considered by such biographers as Gide and Zweig to be as much the confession of the author as of his fictional character. Brilliantly translated by Virginia Woolf and S.S. Koteliansky, it is published here for the first time in the U.S. Also includes a psychoanalytic study of the author by Freud, and a history of the original manuscript and its publication by V. Komarovich.

About Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-81) was educated in Moscow and at the School of Military Engineers in St. Petersburg, where he spent four years. In 1846, he wrote his first novel, Poor Folk; it was an immediate critical and popular success. This was followed by short stories and the novel The Double. While at work on Netochka Nezvanova, the twenty-seven-year-old author was arrested for belonging to a young socialist group. He was tried and condemned to death, but at the last moment his sentence was commuted to prison in Siberia. He spent four years in the penal settlement as Omsk. In 1859, he was granted full amnesty and allowed to return to St. Petersburg. In the fourteen years before his death, Dostoyevsky produced his greatest works, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed, and The Brothers Karamazov. The last was published a year before his death.
