F. M. Dostoevsky "The Complete Works"

F. M. Dostoevsky
The Complete Works
Canonic texts

Did You know

that all of the posthumous editions of Dostoevsky's works distorted the author's intentions? First of all, Dostoevsky's texts were edited according to the new school grammar and spelling rules introduced after 1885. Then, after the revolution of 1917, Dostoevsky's texts were "corrected" for political reasons and were also subjected to significant changes in spelling, which often altered the true appearance and spiritual significance of Dostoevsky's creation.

If you want to read the original texts of Dostoevsky you should sign up to receive the new edition of the Complete Works of Dostoevsky, which preserves the writer's own original orthography: his use of capital letters, punctuation and accent marks.

Beginning in 1995

Petrozavodsk State University
has been publishing

The Complete Works of Dostoevsky
in fifteen volumes
edited by V. N Zakharov

For the first time modern readers will be able to read Dostoevsky's texts as they were originally published without subsequent grammatical and political corrections. The edition restores the writer's orthography: his use of capital letters, punctuation and accent marks. It is the first and the only posthumous publication of Dostoevsky's works that completely preserves the author's intentions.

The publication includes all of Dostoevsky's published works, including his translation of Balzac's "Eugenie Grandet" that was not included in the last Soviet edition of his complete works. Essential historical and cultural commentaries also accompany the edition. The new Complete Works will prove essential for scholars of Dostoevsky because it provides definitive, canonical texts of his works. It will also prove invaluable for translators who will be better able to establish nuances of meaning. And all readers will be able to discover the original texts as Dostoevsky intended them.

At the Second Russian Book Exhibition (Moscow, September 1996) the first and second volumes of this series were awarded the first prize in the category of best edition of classical literature.

This edition also offers improved print quality.
