Fyodor Dostoevsky
1821 – 1881 · Russian Novelist
Dostoevsky was arrested for political subversion, stood before a firing squad, and received a last-second reprieve — a mock execution designed to break him. It didn't. He spent the next thirty years writing novels that mapped the darkest corridors of the human soul.
