WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 2003
In The Master of Petersburg J. M. Coetzee dares to imagine the life of
Dostoevsky. Set in 1869, when Dostoevsky was summoned from Germany to St
Petersburg by the sudden death of his stepson, this novel is at once a
compelling mystery steeped in the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary Russia and a
brilliant and courageous meditation on authority and rebellion, art and
imagination. Dostoevsky is seen obsessively following his stepson's ghost,
trying to ascertain whether he was a suicide or a murder victim and whether he
loved or despised his stepfather.
