The first post on this page is a piece that depicts six different scenes and periods in the life of Fyodor Dostoevsky, the Russian writer and thinker. You can find the text, which I have reread myself, at the link below.

Dostoevsky and Nietzsche—one from the world of literature, the other from philosophy—are regarded by many as founders of the philosophical movement of existentialism, which profoundly influenced twentieth-century intellectual life. From psychology to philosophy, existentialism remains a living and dynamic body of thought that teaches us how to assume responsibility for living in the face of life's suffering.
