I am a Russian novelist and philosopher. Born in 1821, I endured numerous hardships in my life. It was during my time in prison that I found my voice as a writer, exploring the depths of the human psyche and the existential struggle of the individual. My works, including "Crime and Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov," have become recognized as literary classics, grappling with themes of morality, faith, and the human condition.
