Dostoevsky is one of the ‘deepest’ writers I have encountered through my journeys in literature. I say ‘deep’ because he fearlessly peels back layers of social expectation and just lunges for primal, raw, and unfiltered emotions, reactions, and observations.

I don’t have a ‘favorite’ Dostoevsky work…they are all magnificent and stand alone in their magnitude and depth. Entering the mind of Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment is by far the most memorable trip in reading Dostoevsky’s work. As for The Brothers Karamazov, it whirls around so many dark emotions associated with serious issues like patricide and faith. The book has a wide range of characters – each bearing their own flaws and issues. Especially evident are the conflicting morals surrounding issues of identity, faith, lineage, fatherhood and murder.

I found an amazing offer on Dostoevsky’s books, and I’m sharing it in the Totally Booked section at the bottom of the post. Check it out if you want a great Dostoevsky read or just can’t resist book bargains like me.

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Author), Constance Garnett (Translator), & 5 more

You can’t go wrong with this book. It has his amazing novels, novellas, short stories, letters, memoirs, and a biography. A whole library!

Paperback is around 40$…but the Kindle is 1.13 $ last I looked.

Seriously. A dollar and change, and you have all the Dostoevsky of a complete library on your computer/tablet/kindle. I love great book buys. Lovies, you don’t find buys like this…Grab it. And yes, I might make a penny on the dollar for the Kindle buy as an Amazon associate…seriously. This isn’t about the commission…It’s a dollar. Buy it for your library…this isn’t a tsundoku collection – it’s a must-read.
