Description: BRAND NEW PAPERBACK. 320 pages. (320 pages) one cold winter in the 1970s, leonid tsypkin's obsession with dostoyevsky leads him to leningrad by train, so that he can see for himself where his hero died. as the train makes its way across russia, a journal inspires tsypkin to conjure up the summer of 1867, when dosteyevsky and his young wife anna travelled across europe to baden-baden. illustrations (Paperback) read more
"This is such an underrated book. Leonid Tsypkin was a great fan Dostoevsky and this book is his homage to the writer he so admired. It's a braided plot - the first strand consists of Dostoevsky's summer in Baden-Baden, Germany with his new wife, Anna Grigoryevna, while the second strand tell of the author's train trip north to Leningrad (St. Petersburg) to visit the apartment in which Dostoevsky died. Despite the inherent sadness in the subject matter, this is a glorious book and one any person interested in Russian literature should definitely read."
"Like the train tracks that carry the narrator northwards to St Petersburg in quest of Fyodor Dostoevsky's last resting place these parallel narratives, illustrated throughout with Tsypkin's own photographs, retrace the events of the Russian writer's life touching upon his professional jealousies, his turbulent marriage, and the addiction to gambling that rendered him indebted to money-lenders and, ultimately, exacerbated his embittered anti-semitism."
