Following step by step the evolution of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's complex attitude toward the Jewish people as manifested in his literary works, his journalistic writings, his letters, notebooks, and the memoirs of his contemporaries, David I. Goldstein attempts to clarify the great writer's vision of two God-fearing peoples--the Russians and the Jews--who, in Dostovesky's tormented mind, could not coexist. The author worked for UNESCO in Paris as a linguist. Joseph Frank (October 6, 1918 - February 27, 2013) was an American literary scholar and leading expert on the life and work of Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky. Frank's five-volume biography of Dostoevsky is frequently cited among the major literary biographies of the 20th century. Frank went to Paris on a Fulbright Scholarship in 1950, and in 1952 he was accepted by the University of Chicago, where he eventually earned a Ph.D. Derived from a review found on-line: David Goldstein's Dostoyevsky and the Jews is a valuable study on a subject which cannot help being of interest to any reader of Dostoyevsky, and it goes a long way toward lighting up one unhappy aspect of this complex, baffling, and self-contradictory genius. Mr. Goldstein does not unduly inflate the importance of the Jewish Question for Dostoevsky, and he happily makes no attempt to endow it with more significance than it actually has in the body of the novelist's work. In fact, Dostoevsky depicted only one Jewish character at any length (Isai Fomich Bumstein in The House of the Dead). The minor figure of Lyamshin in The Possessed, a member of Pyotr Verkhovensky's revolutionary "five," is, as Mr. Goldstein demonstrates, probably a converted Jew; but his Jewish traits are so minimal that they have hardly attracted any critical attention. There is also the passing glimpse of the Jewish fireman, incongruously rigged out in an Achilles helmet before whose disbelieving eyes Svidrigailov shoots himself in Crime and Punishment. Nonetheless, Mr. Goldstein is perfectly justified in maintaining that a study of Dostoevsky's relation to the Jews and Judaism is by no means arbitrary or superfluous. Dostoevsky himself felt it necessary publicly to take a stand on "The 'Jewish Question"' in his important article with this title in The Diary of a Writer, and he constantly makes passing allusions, invariably uncomplimentary, to Jews and Jewishness in his novels and stories and, most of all, in his Diary. Yet, at the same time, he exchanged frank and courteous letters with at least two Jewish correspondents and made efforts to help them personally. Moreover, he vigorously denied that he was a "hater of the Jewish people," and declared "there has never been such a hatred in my heart." Clearly, he was preoccupied with this problem himself and raises it in such a way as to justify devoting to it the close scrutiny that Mr. Goldstein has finally provided.
