{"product_id":"9781400833412","title":"Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoseph Frank's award-winning, five-volume \u003ci\u003eDostoevsky\u003c\/i\u003e is widely recognized as the best biography of the writer in any language--and one of the greatest literary biographies of the past half-century. Now Frank's monumental, 2500-page work has been skillfully abridged and condensed in this single, highly readable volume with a new preface by the author. Carefully preserving the original work's acclaimed narrative style and combination of biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism, \u003ci\u003eDostoevsky: A Writer in His Time\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the writer's works--from his first novel \u003ci\u003ePoor Folk\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e--by setting them in their personal, historical, and above all ideological context. More than a biography in the usual sense, this is a cultural history of nineteenth-century Russia, providing both a rich picture of the world in which Dostoevsky lived and a major reinterpretation of his life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151852617968,"sku":"9781400833412","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400833412_p0.jpg?v=1769894761","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400833412","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
