Five Star Gift Ideas

What a great interest for a young person to have! Here are some gift ideas for your grandson:

1. A set of books: Purchase a set of Dostoevsky's major works, such as "Crime and Punishment," "The Brothers Karamazov," and "Notes from Underground," so he can have a complete collection to read and enjoy.

2. A biography: Buy him a biography of Dostoevsky. "The Life of Dostoevsky" by Frank Dostoevsky (his great-grandson) or "Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time" by Joseph Frank are both good options.

3. A writing journal: If your grandson loves to write, get him a writing journal with a quote from Dostoevsky on the cover, such as "Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled" or "The world will be saved by beauty."

4. A framed quote: Choose a memorable quote from Dostoevsky and have it printed and framed for him to hang on his wall or place on his desk.

5. A trip to Russia: If you really want to spoil your grandson, consider surprising him with a trip to Russia to visit St. Petersburg and Moscow, where Dostoevsky lived and worked. You could even plan a tour specifically focused on Dostoevsky's life and works.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
