About This Book

The volume presents two previously unpublished Dostoevsky manuscripts and accompanying commentary: an intense first-person confession in which a troubled man recounts private sins, inner contradictions, and the psychological burden of guilt, and a separate outline for an unrealized novel that maps the imagined arc of a great sinner's life. Editors include a government note on the discovery, translators' commentary, and scholarly introductions, plus additional unpublished chapters and annotations that illuminate the author's creative process and the manuscripts' relation to his larger fictional projects.
