Resuming the story of the consequences of Dostoevsky's involvement w/ the radical intelligentsia of St. Petersburg, Professor Frank goes on to depict the most critical period of Dostoevsky's life--the 10 years between his arrest as a conspirator in late 1849 & his return to St. Petersburg to resume his literary career in 1859. Professor Frank depicts Dostoevsky's imprisonment in the Peter-&-Paul Fortress, his interrogation, his mock execution staged by Nicholas I, & his journey into exile. His analysis of Dostoevsky's four years in a Siberian prison camp includes a new interpretation of the conversion experience that Dostoevsky called "the regeneration of my convictions." Finally, the book deals w/ Dostoevsky's life as a soldier in the Russian Army, discusses his infatuation w/ the tempestuous & cultivated young woman who became his first wife, & brilliantly reconstructs the social climate & cultural milieu of the late 1850s in which Dostoevsky struggled to regain literary prominence. * HIGHEST PRAISE FROM CRITICS & SCHOLARS: "This second volume of Joseph Frank's biography of Dostoevsky is a worthy successor to the first. The new volume maintains the same standard of meticulous scholarship, readability both in narration & analysis, common sense in judging events & motives, & psychological penetration." -Rene Wellek, Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature Emeritus, Yale University "This is a monumental work which overshadows all previous literary biographies of Dostoevsky; it is at the peak of informed Dostoevsky scholarship & accomplished literary criticism. The study is classified only narrowly by the term literary biography. Its approach & scope place it firmly in the realm of cultural & intellectual history. Hardly anything on this scale has been attempted in the United Sates, or the Soviet Union, & scale here involves a qualitative leap into a closely textured & subtle working of vast materials involving the interaction of writer, literary culture, & history. -Robert Louis Jackson, Yale University * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joseph Frank was Professor of Comparative Literature at Princeton University & Professor of Comparative Literature & Slavic Languages at Stanford University. The five volumes of his monumental masterpiece has received numerous accolades and awards, including the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography, two Christian Gauss Awards, two James Russell Lowell Awards of the Modern Language Association, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, & other honors. In addition to the five volumes of "Dostoevsky", Professor Frank is the author of "Thorough the Russian Prism: Essays on Literature & Culture (Princeton), "The Widening Gyre", & "The Idea of Spatial Form." * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates., Books<

gewerbliches Angebot, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, [PU: Princeton University Press], 234x156x21 mm, 338, [GW: 577g], [ED: Taschenbuch], DE, Neuware - Volume two of one of the greatest literary biographies of our timeJoseph Frank's award-winning, five-volume Dostoevsky is widely recognized as the best biography of the Russian novelist in any language and one of the greatest literary biographies ever written. In this monumental work, Frank blends biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism to illuminate Dostoevsky's works and set them in their personal, historical, and 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.This volume opens with the detention of the bookish young writer for membership in the radical Petrashevsky Circle and closes with his return to the capital ten years later as an ex-convict and former soldier who now proclaims himself an ardent supporter of the czar and the Russian imperial dynasty.- Besorgungstitel - vorauss.
