Dostoyevsky portrayed by his wife : the diary and reminscences of Mme Dostoyevsky

Dostoyevsky, Anna Gregorevna, 1846-19181926
Books, Manuscripts
The Diary is a large volume of about 400 pages, published in the original Russian by the Central Archives in 1923. Both note-books relate to the time when the Dostoevskys were living abroad - in Berlin, Dresden and Baden - whilst the Reminiscences were intended as a complete character portrait. This volume, presents such selections from the entries in the diary, the Reminiscences, and correspondence and is valuable for the better understanding of Dostoevsky. It offers remarkable insights into his often opaque personality, particularly in relation to his personal habits, his manner and character, and his relationship with his devoted wife, Anna Gregorevna.
