Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) was a Russian novelist, short story writer and essayist known for exploring human psychology in the context of 19th-century Russian society.

Born 1821, died 1881. Major works include Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, Notes from Underground, The Gambler, and The Idiot. Themes include psychology, faith, free will and critique of rationalist positivism.

Two DeBaser reviews highlight Dostoevsky's psychological depth and confessional voice in Notes from Underground and his lived knowledge of gambling in The Gambler. Reviewers note emotional intensity, readability, and philosophical critique of rationalist thought. One review gives a 3/5, the other 5/5.
