Correspondence
Letters
Письма
The letters to his brother Mikhail, to Maikov, to his niece Sofya Ivanova, to Strakhov, to Pobedonostsev and above all to Anna Grigoryevna accompany his whole life: the youthful vocation ('man is a mystery'), the afternoon of the mock execution, the credo of 1854, poverty and roulette abroad, the genesis of each novel and the triumph of the Pushkin speech. They are the most important primary source for his biography and his religious thought.
