Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky was a literary giant whose works exhibit an uncanny grasp of human psychology and offer penetrating analyses of the politics and social and spiritual state of the Russia of his time. He began his career as a political radical, but after a time spent in exile, he became much more conservative and reflective about the nature of man. What other great Russian author reportedly burst into tears when he learned of Dostoevsky's death?
