Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russian novelist and philosopher who explored the depths of human psychology, morality, and spiritual struggle. Dostoevsky's masterpieces like Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Notes from Underground examine free will, suffering, and redemption. His own experience with mock execution and Siberian labor camps informed his profound understanding of human nature. Dostoevsky's psychological realism and existential themes profoundly influenced 20th-century literature and philosophy.
