«Да, в вечности – жена, не на бумаге». Неточка и каторжник. Анна Достоевская

Their hasty marriage could easily have ended in disappointment. But it was precisely this marriage that brought the celebrated writer a profound happiness he had never known before. It was during these last 14 years of his life that he wrote his most powerful and celebrated works. "You are the only woman who understood me," he repeated to his Anna, and it was to her that he dedicated his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov. Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevskaya devoted her entire life to republishing her husband's books. And she wrote her "Memoirs" solely to shed light on the writer's true image, which, in her opinion, was often distorted in the recollections of his contemporaries.
