What is Dostoevsky : A Writer in His Time about?

Joseph Frank's award-winning, five-volume __Dostoevsky__ is widely recognized as the best biography of the writer in any language--and one of the greatest literary biographies of the past half-century. Now Frank's monumental, 2500-page work has been skillfully abridged and condensed in this single, highly readable volume with a new preface by the author. Carefully preserving the original work's acclaimed narrative style and combination of biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism, __Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time__ illuminates the writer's works--from his first novel __Poor Folk__ to __Crime and Punishment__ and __The Brothers Karamazov__--by setting them in their personal, historical, and above all ideological context. More than a biography in the usual sense, this is a cultural history of nineteenth-century Russia, providing both a rich picture of the world in which Dostoevsky lived and a major reinterpretation of his life and work.
