Author Biography Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-81) was one of Russias foremost writers, producing novels, short stories, essays and philosophical texts. Born in Moscow, he initially trained as an engineer, spending his spare time translating books. The publication of his first book, Poor Folk, saw him enter the literary circles of St Petersburg, but he developed a gambling habit as he toured around Europe and then fell foul of the Russian authorities who sent him into exile in Siberia in 1849 for reading banned works. C. J. Hogarth (1869-1945), a British soldier and accomplished translator of Russian literature. He translated the works of such notable authors as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Gogol, Turgenev, Maxim Gorky, Ivan Goncharov, and others, contributing significantly to the dissemination of Russian literature in English.
