📖#OTD on November 11, 1821, the outstanding Russian novelist and thinker Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in Moscow. From his early days, Dostoevsky plunged into the depths of the human soul – exploring guilt, redemption, freedom and faith. His masterpieces like The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot continue to challenge and inspire readers around the world. He was no stranger to hardship – sentenced to death, spared at the last moment, sent into exile in Siberia, emerging to write some of the greatest works of world literature. His words travel far beyond Russia: “Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn’t calculate his happiness.”
