F. M. Dostoevsky in Spain

This article presents the preliminary results of a broader piece of research on the reception of F. M. Dostoevsky's life and work in Spain. In order to understand how Dostoevsky was translated and read in Spanish society, I will examine, first of all, when and how the name "Dostoevsky" began to be popular among Spanish readers and when the first translations were published. Secondly, I will show what kind of image of the Russian writer was formed in Spanish intellectual circles and how they were influenced by him (especially Miguel de Unamuno and Pio Baroja). Finally, I will set out the main areas of Dostoevsky research in Spain.
