Dostoevsky and the Dynamics of Religious Experience (Anthem Series on Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies) by Jones, Malcolm (2005) Paperback

by Malcolm V. Jones

This addition to Dostoevsky studies deals with the religious dimension of the novelist's life and fiction. Malcolm Jones takes a fresh reading of Dostoevsky's representation of religion in his fictional world, that allows for both mystery and fear. The spiritual map of human experience that Dostoevsky offers, argues the author, includes only the occasional small island of serenity in vast, turbulent oceans of doubt, rebellion, rejection, indifference and unbelief.
