Despite the demise of the Literary Group that I used to belong to, I am continuing to read from and study about one of my favorite authors, Fyodor Dostoevsky. So I came across another mini-biography in the Christian Encounters series about this great writer. The first book I read in this series was the excellent survey of J.R.R. Tolkien by Mark Horne. Like the biography of Tolkien, this account of Dostoevsky is fairly general and light, but accurate, easy to read and good for introducing new readers to the lives of these great men. Here following is my quick review from Goodreads:
Fyodor Dostoevsky by
Peter LeithartThe author uses the conceit of the fictional biography to tell the story of FD's life. The story is fairly light and an easy read, but still deals with the important events in Dostoevsky's life as it relates to the development of his writing.
