Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Essays Collection: Winter Notes on Summer Impressions; Letters; Recollections; Woolf on Dostoyevsky

Written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Narrated by Emma Gregory and Ben Allen

This audiobook includes unabridged recordings of Fyodor Dostotevsky's two finest works of non-fiction, including:

Letters and Reminiscences: Collected here are some of Dostoyevsky's finest letters to his family and friends, as-well as reminiscences from those close to him. This audiobook also includes thoughts on his life and work from his contemporaries (including Ivan Turgenev and Leo Tolstoy). These letters give an insight into the work, life, and psychology of one of the greatest writers of all time.

Winter Notes on Summer Impressions: In June 1862, Dostoevsky left St. Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, were first published in the February 1863 issue of ""Vremya"" (Time), the periodical he edited, and are collected here.

3 Essays on Dostoyevsky by Virginia Woolf: Virginia Woolf was a great champion of Dostoyevsky's work, and wrote three essays on his life and work, entitled Dostoevsky the Father; More on Dostoevsky; and Dostoevsky in Cranford.
