费奥多尔·陀思妥耶夫斯基

15 Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Dostoyevsky was born in 1821 in Moscow.

His childhood was very unhappy.

His father, a doctor, was bad-tempered and violent.

He believed in very strict discipline for little children.

Fyodor's mother was a sweet and gentle woman.

She was the only person who could control his father.

When she died in 1837, Fyodor's father became even worse.

He lost control and was angry all the time.

When he was 21, Fyodor joined the army.
