Dostoevsky is a collection of critical essays by André Gide, translated from French, with an introduction by Arnold Bennett. Gide examines Dostoevsky’s novels and thought, exploring psychological and moral questions raised by his work. It is worth listening for a thoughtful early twentieth-century writer’s perspective on one of Russian literature’s major figures.
