1) Hardcover Book Dostoevsky: Language, Faith, and Fiction (Making of the Christian Imagination) by Baylor University Press. This book is clear, intelligent and quite serious. The author writes more like a philosopher than a literary critic, appropriate for Dostoevsky´s highly charged, philosophically oriented themes.
Along the way Williams present a profound account of the reality of spiritual life. While he and Dostoyevsky are tied into Christianity, a person with any kind of spiritual concern could learn a great deal from this.
(My own background in these matters includes several books and articles on contemporary religious life and spirituality.)

2) Hardcover Book Dostoevsky: Language, Faith, and Fiction (Making of the Christian Imagination) by Baylor University Press. Rowan Williams explores the intricacies of speech, fiction, metaphor, and iconography in the works of one of literature´s most complex, and most complexly misunderstood, authors. Williams´ investigation focuses on the four major novels of Dostoevsky´s maturity (Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Devils, and The Brothers Karamozov). He argues that understanding Dostoevsky´s style and goals as a writer of fiction is inseparable from understanding his religious commitments. Any reader who enters the rich and insightful world of Williams´ Dostoevsky will emerge a more thoughtful and appreciative reader for it.¤
