John Maxwell Coetzee is a Nobel Prize-winning South African writer and a recognized master of psychological prose.
The main character of "Autumn in St. Petersburg" is Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, who returns to St. Petersburg in the fall of 1869 to investigate the tragic death of his stepson. The writer is out of his mind from grief and can hardly cope with epilepsy attacks, and the landlady of the apartment where the deceased lived, causes him a real obsession. However, Dostoevsky is determined to find the truth - did Paul die by his own death? Was he a revolutionary? Did he love his adoptive father or despise him? To answer these questions, Fyodor Mikhailovich will have to confront Sergei Nechaev, an underground revolutionary and the evil genius of St. Petersburg. The skill of Kutzey and Sergei Ilyin, the author of the Russian translation of the novel, is such that reading "Autumn in St. Petersburg", we can well believe that before us - a hitherto unknown novel "Dostoevsky". Read a masterpiece of world literature in a congenial translation!
