F.M.Dostoevsky (1821-1881)
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is a Russian novelist who is considered by many people to be one of the greatest writers ever. His first novel, Poor Folk, appeared in 1846. In 1849 he was arrested for his socialist beliefs, and was sent to a prison settlement in Siberia for four years. In 1859, he published the humorous Village of Stepanchikovo, and two years later – The House of the Dead, where he recalled his prison experiences. He lived abroad for some time, but returned to Russia in 1871.
His novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed and the great work of his last years, The Karamazov Brothers, all show his genius for psychological analysis of character and creating narrative tension.
Notes: settlement – поселение
“Crime and Punishment” – “Преступление и наказание”
“The Possessed” – “Бесы”
narrative tension – напряженность повествования
Charles dickens (1812-1870)
Charles Dickens’ novels made him the most popular British writer of the 19th century, and are still very popular today. When he was only 12, his father was imprisoned for debt and Charles had to go to work in a factory, as did the hero of his David Copperfield.
At the age of 17 he became a reporter, but only when he was 22, he found permanent work on the staff of a London newspaper. The publication of the first part of the Pickwick Papers, made him famous. This was followed by Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, and others.
Dickens’ books contain humorous characters with unusual names, many of whom have become very well-known. But they also show how hard life was in Victorian England for poor people, especially in his later novels Dombey and Son, Hard Times, Great Expectations.
