Among the great novelists of the 19th Century Dostoevsky is probably the closest and most important to our time.  His extraordinary insight into human behaviour, so greatly respected by Freud, has given him a unique position in the field of modern psychology.  In his passionate concern with the great questions of Christian belief, his grappling with Evil and Atonement, the justification of God and the World Order, he speaks with universal meaning. And Dostotoevsky foresaw, with prophetic visions, the growth of the totalitarian idea and the pattern of social conflict this century.
