Dostoevsky's final years at last won him the universal approval toward which he had always aspired. While describing his idiosyncratic relationship to the Russian state, Frank also details Doestoevsky's continuing rivalries with Turgenev and Tolstoy.Dostoevsky's appearance at the Pushkin ...

"I had a difficult time finishing this, only because its last chapter is so moving and well-written. I've invested a good deal of time into these five biographies. It was painful to witness the death of such a warmly portrayed character.
The whole series is amazing, but this is the finest of JF's work. His analysis and approach brings to light Dostoevsky's reasoning and belief on irreproachable levels. With the help of the Writer's Diary and Dostoevsky's new-found fame, this volume reaches new heights that help us all to understand the great writer.
Next I'm beginning a nerdy chronological read/reread of everything Dostoevsky published. Thanks to Joseph Frank, I feel more capable of grasping and applying Dostoevsky's work...."
"The 5th and final vol. of Frank's bio; it covers his reading of Bros K. Even if you don't want to read the whole thing, it's worth the price to read F's gloss of that great novel.
Otherwise, see my review re Vol 2, The Years of Ordeal, for more general comments that apply to both volumes."
