About “Under Western Eyes”
Under Western Eyes is a 1911 novel by Joseph Conrad set in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Geneva, Switzerland. It is considered Conrad's response to themes in Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, though Conrad was known to have disliked Dostoevsky. The novel also reflects on Conrad's own early life, as his father was a Polish independence activist imprisoned by the Russians. Conrad left his native land at sixteen and did not follow in his father's revolutionary path. While writing Under Western Eyes, Conrad experienced a weeks-long breakdown and spoke with the novel's characters in Polish. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
