The Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was caught when he got involved with a plan against his government. They arrested him and almost killed him, but the Emperor saved his life in the last minute, and instead condemned him to 4 years in prison in Siberia. As he entered the prison someone handed him a book. It was a bible. When he started browsing through it, he found some money which he needed so much as he was also a gambler. But instead he found something better than money. He found God. And all the good books that he wrote were sprinkled with messages about the Good News. All his literary writings, explore the human condition in the troubled political, social and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. He mentions many spiritual and Christian values, like compassion, forgiveness, sin and the search for God.
