A set of two books: 'The Devils' by Fyodor Dostoevsky and 'Dostoevsky in Love' by Alex Christofi.
One story gives birth to another. One author inspires others. It doesn't matter in which order you read the books. You can start with the anti-nihilistic 'The Devils' - one of the most tragic and prophetically terrifying novels by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a provincial town where the mysterious Nikolai Stavrogin arrives with his restless companion Petr Verkhovensky, and later his imaginary wife Khrumonozhka.
Or you can start with 'Dostoevsky in Love' by Alex Christofi and look at 'The Devils' through different eyes. The novel 'Dostoevsky in Love' weaves excerpts from the works of Fyodor Mikhailovich and historical context. Christofi immerses the reader in the grand perspective of Dostoevsky's world: from a Siberian camp to European gambling halls, from damp prison cells of the tsar's fortress to the refined salons of St. Petersburg.
Alex Christofi has created memoirs that Dostoevsky could have written if life and literary fame had not intervened. He offers a new portrait of the artist, who perhaps we were not familiar with before: shy but devoted lover, sensitive friend of the people, faithful brother and friend, as well as a writer capable of delving into the depths of the human soul.
