Set in the 19th-century Russia, The Meek One,
also known as A Gentle Spirit, is a retrospective
account of an ill-fated marriage of a pawn-
broker and a teen girl, who, as suggested at
the beginning of the narrative, is now dead.
But, is her death so sudden as it appears from
her husband’s account? Wasn’t she dying
every day in a loveless marriage? A poignant
exploration of human psychology and the
intricacies of relationships, The Meek One is a
timeless work of literature.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was born in Moscow on November 11, 1821. He is known for his profound understanding of human psychology and his ability to bring forth the darkest realms of human nature. Dostoyevsky inspired a number of modern movements including Existentialism, literary criticism and many schools of psychology and theology. He influenced a number of modern philosophers and writers including Anton Chekov, George Orwell and Jean-Paul Sartre. He is best known for his novels Notes from Underground (1864), Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (serialized from 1868 to 1869) The Possessed or otherwise known as Demons (serialised from 1871 to 1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (serialised from 1879 to 1880). Dostoyevsky died on February 9, 1881 at the age of 59, in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
