About this book
The addresses recall an abandoned plan for a life of Dostoevsky, set aside when war interrupted work on collected notes. The speaker returns to those notes when invited to address a centenary meeting, while questioning whether chronological order best suits the occasion.
The addresses quote letters about endurance, illness and the will to live, including a letter recounting preparations for death followed by a reprieve. The discussion of Dostoevsky’s characters says that questioning what one man can accomplish signals an approaching downfall. The text describes a commitment to unity that would confound party and faction in a great love of country and humanity.
