NEW EDITION OF DOSTOEVSKY

[Anna Dranova]

NEW EDITION OF DOSTOEVSKY

Many Slavists are not yet aware of the fantastic Dostoevsky website maintained by Petrozavodsk State University. A team of editors, scholars and proofreaders headed by Professor Vladimir Nikolaevich Zakharov has made it possible to do an online search for any word in Dostoevsky’s writings, including his complete published fiction and essays. Professor Zakharov plans to make a CD version of the online concordances – expanded to include all of Dostoevsky’s extant drafts and correspondence! Contact me if you are interested in obtaining this CD. Professor Zakharov is also editing a new edition of Dostoevsky’s complete works, restored to the old orthography and to the punctuation that Dostoevsky originally intended. (Soviet editors corrected the early editions according to more rigid modern-day norms that are different from Dostoevsky’s.) The new, "canonical" edition includes new commentaries that supplement those of the 30-volume Academy edition. The paper, printing and binding are of unusually high quality. Volumes 1-4 [F.M. Dostoevskii, Polnoe sobranie sochinenii (kanonicheskie teksty)], are already off the press. Volumes 5 and 7 are scheduled to be printed this winter. The complete fiction will occupy 13 volumes. The new edition can be ordered directly from Petrozavodsk or from me (in USA). See Professor Zakharov’s online concordance to the complete fiction of Dostoevsky at:

 The texts on the website are the "canonical" texts of the new Polnoe sobranie sochinenii, with restored orthography and punctuation. For further information contact me at wolandusa at yahoo.com
