The poverty he has always known drives him to believe that he is exempt from moral law. But when he puts this belief to the test, he suffers unbearably.

In 1846, he wrote his first novel, \u003ci\u003ePoor Folk\u003c\/i\u003e; it was an immediate critical and popular success. This was followed by short stories and the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Double\u003c\/i\u003e. While at work on Netochka Nezvanova, the twenty-seven-year-old author was arrested for belonging to a young socialist group. He was tried and condemned to death, but at the last moment his sentence was commuted to prison in Siberia. He spent four years in the penal settlement as Omsk. In 1859, he was granted full amnesty and allowed to return to St. Petersburg. In the fourteen years before his death, Dostoyevsky produced his greatest works, including \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Possessed\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e.
