From this traumatic and formative experience, the writer saw his vocation as a necessary death to himself and his illusions. The great trials of his existence revealed him to himself. They also formed the novelist material of the man who would become the foremost writer of incarnation. Through major works such as "The House of the Dead," "Notes from Underground," "The Gambler," "The Brothers Karamazov," and "Crime and Punishment," Dostoevsky explored the depths of the human soul in search of the redemption that only love can bring: a concrete love, thanks to his encounter with Anna Snitkina, who would become his second wife. She provided essential help to the writer in overcoming his painful addiction to gambling, then in achieving the daily peace of mind that was a prerequisite for the creation of his greatest masterpieces. In addition to Anna's love, Fyodor also found spiritual and absolute love in Christ, whose discreet, almost veiled presence shines through the greatest pages of his work. "Dostoevsky, the embodiment of romance" is a deep dive into the turbulent life of the Russian genius of world literature. A KTO/CRESCENDO MEDIA FILMS 2025 co-production.See less
