Geir Kjetsaa, a Norwegian scholar of international repute, undertook this biography with the aim of writing "a documentary that will be useful and pleasurable to the growing number of Dostoyevsky readers." Kjetsaa's deft integration of primary sources with a lively narrative succeeds in creating a coherent and intimate account of the writer's life.'
