Everything you didn't know about the human soul can be found in the works of the great Russian classic, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.

His books are telescopes for exploring the human cosmos, where dim spots in the night sky turn into stars that can warm or scorch, and into planets that are often only conditionally habitable. Have you flown into space yet? Don't forget—we are talking about the human soul.

It can be lonely in an unjust world, like 'Netochka Nezvanova.' Love and happiness can be taken from it, as in 'Poor People.' Or its real feelings may not coincide with the imagined ideals, as in 'White Nights.'
