Dostoevsky: The Author As Psychoanalyst
Condition remarks:

A landmark work in psychoanalytic literary criticism, Dostoevsky: The Author as Psychoanalyst argues that Fyodor Dostoevsky's towering novels functioned as a form of self-analysis, allowing the author to work through his own profound psychological conflicts on the page. Louis Breger, a clinical psychologist and literary scholar, presents a deeply researched study that traces the autobiographical threads woven throughout masterworks such as Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot. Drawing on Dostoevsky's turbulent life — marked by epilepsy, gambling addiction, imprisonment in Siberia, and the trauma of near-execution — Breger illuminates how personal anguish was transmuted into some of the nineteenth century's most enduring fiction. The result is a compelling dual portrait of the man and his art, written with both scholarly rigour and genuine literary passion, that fundamentally reframes how readers understand Dostoevsky's creative genius.
