III. The selected Food of the Gods is regarded as the "disease of the new century" and the "bible of the restless generation." The uproar caused by Return from the Soviet Union has long surpassed the significance of the event itself. If Seeds Don’t Die, in which the author recounts his life until shortly before his marriage at the age of 26, records his slow and arduous journey toward freedom. In the critical essays, Dostoevsky is both an academic paper and a personal reflection, while The Imaginary Interview is wide-ranging and innovative, offering many insightful observations. His diaries, written from 1887 when he was 14 until his death in 1950, contain the genetic code of all his works and are invaluable and unique materials for studying his works and extraordinary life. They can be considered his least embellished memoir.
