"If you are assailed by doubt, even total rejection of God, try Dostoyevsky. And don't be daunted by the fact that most of his books are fat. Start with this volume of power-laden excerpts." - a reader

An excellent introduction to one of the world's most important authors, this volume vividly reveals - as none of his novels can on their own - the common thread of the great God-haunted Russian's questioning faith. Drawn from The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, and The Adolescent, the seventeen selections are each prefaced by an explanatory note. Newcomers will find in these pages a rich, accessible sampling. Dostoyevsky devotees will be pleased to find some of the writer's deepest, most compelling passages in one volume.
