Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Russian novelist and short-story writer, whose psychological penetration into the darkest recesses of the human heart, together with his unsurpassed moments of illumination, had an immense influence on 20th-century fiction.

He specialized in the analysis of pathological states of mind that lead to insanity, murder, and suicide and in the exploration of the emotions of humiliation, self-destruction, tyrannical domination, and murderous rage. These major works are also renowned as great “novels of ideas” that treat timeless and timely issues in philosophy and politics. Psychology and philosophy are closely linked in Dostoyevsky’s portrayals of intellectuals, who “feel ideas” in the depths of their souls. 

A novel in Nine Letters  is a range of correspondence  that revolves around two friends, one of whom lends money to another. Then, the ruse, lies and deception unfolds. Their relationship grows increasingly strained as their correspondence continues, as it becomes clear that one of them is lying to avoid the other.  There is no greater way to ruin a friendship than to lend money.
