Ständige Geldnöte, Verurteilung zum Tode, mehrjährige Gefängnisstrafe in angeketteter Einzelhaft, Verbot des Aufenthalts in Moskau und in Sankt Petersburg, Spielsucht, um ein paar der Schwierigkeiten zu erwähnen, welche das Schicksal letztendlich zu Voraussetzungen umwandelte, die Dostojewski in die Lage versetzten zu einem Titanen der Welt-Literatur zu werden.

A Londoner for more than 20 years, moving from flat to Tube to air-conditioned office, Melissa Harrison knew what it was to be insulated from the seasons. Adopting a dog and going on daily walks helped reconnect her with the cycle of the year and the quiet richness of nature all around her: swifts nesting in a nearby church; ivy-leaved toadflax growing out of brick walls; the first blackbird's song; an exhilarating glimpse of a hobby over Tooting Common.
