'A daring and mesmerizing twist on the art of biography' - Douglas Smith, author of Rasputin: The Biography 'Anyone who loves [Dostoevsky's] novels will be fascinated by this book' - Sue Prideaux, author of I Am Dynamite! A Life of Friedrich Nietzsche Dostoevsky's life was marked by brilliance and brutality. Sentenced to death as a young revolutionary, he survived mock execution and Siberian exile to live through a time of seismic change in Russia, eventually being accepted into the Tsar's inner circle. He had three great love affairs, each overshadowed by debilitating epilepsy and addiction to gambling. Somehow, amidst all this, he found time to write short stories, journalism and novels such as Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov, works now recognised as among the finest ever written. In Dostoevsky in Love Alex Christofi weaves carefully chosen excerpts of the author's work with the historical context to form an illuminating and often surprising whole. The result is a novelistic life that immerses the reader in a grand vista of Dostoevsky's world: from the Siberian prison camp to the gambling halls of Europe; from the dank prison cells of the Tsar's fortress to the refined salons of St Petersburg. Along the way, Christofi relates the stories of the three women whose lives were so deeply intertwined with Dostoevsky's: the consumptive widow Maria; the impetuous Polina who had visions of assassinating the Tsar; and the faithful stenographer Anna, who did so much to secure his literary legacy. Reading between the lines of his fiction, Christofi reconstructs the memoir Dostoevsky might have written had life - and literary stardom - not intervened. He gives us a new portrait of the artist as never before seen: a shy but devoted lover, an empathetic friend of the people, a loyal brother and friend, and a writer able to penetrate to the very depths of the human soul., 6, London: Victor Gollancz, 1968.

Biography of the influential Russian charismatic by a Catalan writer usually associated with Spanish vanguard fiction of the 1920s & 30s. In his Prólogo, Verdaguer states, "Si los bolcheviques no hubiesen lanzado impúdicamente a la publicidad todos los documentos secretos y papeles privados que a esta época de la historia de Rusia si refieren, la figura de Rasputín no hubiera podido ser comprendida por nosotros... Además de esta documentación y de la revisión de los periódicos rusos de la época, nos han ayudado en esta árdua tarea de investigación algunos de nuestros amigos rusos que estuvieron en relación, más o menos directa, con los hechos que intentamos describir. ...Faltaríamos a un deber primordial si no les expresásemos aquí nuestro más profundo agradecimiento y muy especialmente al doctor Bernstein, ex catedrático de la Universidad de Vladivostock, que nos ha facilitado una serie de datos hasta ahora inéditos, basados en su observación personal y en una serie de documentos auténticos reunidos por él durante los últimos años del zarismo."
