Synopsis
One bitterly cold winter in the 1970s, Leonid Tsypkin's obsession with Dostoyevsky led him to Leningrad by train, so that he could see for himself where his hero died. As the train made its way across Russia, Tsypkin was inspired to write a journal, conjuring up the summer of 1867, when Dosteyevsky and his young wife Anna travelled across Europe to Baden-Baden. The destructive demons that beset Dostoyevsky in his later life were in full force at this time, and man and wife battled for their very souls. Yet in Tsypkin's hands, this elegy to the great Russian writer becomes a glorious and unforgettable love story.Product details
