FAQ About Fyodor Dostoevsky
How did Fyodor Dostoevsky's early life and education shape his writing?
Fyodor Dostoevsky was born into a relatively comfortable middle-class family and received a good education, studying engineering at the Military Engineering-Technical University in Saint Petersburg. However, his passion for literature led him to abandon this career path. The social injustices and inequality he observed in his youth, compounded by the liberal and often radical ideas circulating in Russian intelligentsia, played a significant role in shaping the themes of justice and morality in his work.
