The Years of Ordeal, 1850–1859
In part 1 we learn about Dostoevsky's family, education, military school experience, his religious awakening and subsequent challenges by Belinsky, Petrashevsky, and Speshnev, the radical socialists he met. We see the beginnings of his literary genius and finally his arrest for his involvement in conspiratorial circles.
