Fyodor Dostoyevsky
**Fyodor Dostoïevski** (1821–1881) est l’un des plus grands romanciers russes, célèbre pour ses explorations de l’âme humaine dans des contextes sociaux et politiques tourmentés. Condamné à mort en 1849 pour ses idées libérales, il échappe à l’exécution in extremis et passe dix ans en Sibérie, expérience qui marque profondément son œuvre. Ses romans, comme *Crime and Punishment* ou *Les Frères Karamazov*, mêlent profondeur psychologique, débats philosophiques et une empathie unique pour les marginaux. Considéré comme un précurseur de l’existentialisme, Dostoïevski influence des générations d’écrivains et de penseurs.
