Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (Russian: Фёдор
Миха́йлович Достое́вский, IPA: [ˈfʲodər
mɪˈxajləvɪtɕ dəstʌˈjɛfskʲɪj], sometimes transliterated
Dostoyevsky listen (help·info)) (November 11 [O.S. October 30] 1821
– February 9 [O.S. January 28] 1881) is considered one of the
greatest Russian writers. His works have had a profound and lasting
effect on twentieth-century literature.

Dostoevsky's novels often feature characters living in poor conditions
with disparate and extreme states of mind, and explore human psychology
while analysing the political, social and spiritual states of the
Russia of his time. Some scholars consider him to be the founder of
existentialism for having published Notes from Underground (1864).
Walter Kaufmann argues that this text constitutes "the best overture
for existentialism ever written." [1]

Biography

[edit] Early life

Szlachta

>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polish szlachcic

Szlachta (['šlaxta] (help·info)) was the noble class in Poland and
the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the two countries that later jointly
formed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The szlachta arose in the
late Middle Ages and existed through the 18th century and into the
19th. Traditionally, its members were owners of landed property, often
in the form of folwarks. The szlachta enjoyed substantial and almost
unrivalled political privileges until the Partitions of the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the late 18th century. Distinctions
of nobility were officially abolished by Poland's 1921 March
Constitution, though szlachta membership remains widely claimed in
various strata of Polish society at home and abroad.

History

[edit] Etymology

The Polish term "szlachta" designated the "gentle" or "noble class." It
encompassed the idea of gentility or nobility of blood, and was roughly
equivalent to the English "gentry" and "nobility." A specific nobleman
was called a "szlachcic," and a noblewoman, a "szlachcianka."

(quote, excerpts)

Dostoevsky's father, Mikhail Andreevich Dostoevsky, was born into the
clergy and was expected to become a clergyman himself. But after
graduating from the seminary at fifteen, the senior Dostoevsky ran off
to Moscow and enrolled in the Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy.

Though his time in Moscow marked him, urban life was not the whole of
Dostoevsky's childhood world.

In 1827, Dostoevsky's father was promoted to a rank that permitted him
to own land and serfs. In 1831, he purchased the village of Darovoe,
and a year later he bought the hamlet of Cheremoshna - 1400 acres of
land and 100 "souls." For four months every year, Dostoevsky would go
with his mother and brother to the country - a journey that liberated
him from the moods of his father. In Darovoe, Dostoevsky experienced
what he would later call "a happy and placid childhood."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881)

Dostoyevsky, Fyodor

Dostoyevsky (Dostoevsky), Fyodor (Feodor) Mikhailovich, Russian author,
born in Moscow, on the 3oth of October 1821, was the second son of a
retired military surgeon of a decayed noble family.

He was educated at Moscow and at the military engineering academy in

Next year his father died, and he resigned his commission in order to
devote himself to literature—thus commencing a long struggle with
ill-health and penury.
