This book by Constantine Cavarnos is comprised of a general discussion of Dostoievsky's teaching on man's nature and destiny and discussion-reviews of six works of Dostoievsky: 'The Double,' 'White Nights,' 'An Honest Thief,' 'The House of the Dead: In the Hospital,' 'The Peasant Marey,' and 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man.' The discussion-reviews serve to amplify various important points contained in the general discussion and to confirm many statements made in it. It is addressed to all persons interested in existential philosophy - particularly that of Fyodor Dostoievsky - in Orthodox Christian thought as it finds expression in Dostoievsky's works, in Russian literature, and in general to all persons who are concerned with the human situation and perennial human questions.
