I assume you're referring to Fyodor Dostoevsky, the great Russian novelist. His most famous work is probably "Crime & Punishment." Other popular works of his include: "The Brothers Karamozov"; ""The Idiot" and also "Notes From the Underground" which he wrote while he was in prison. His books are very intense and can at times be difficult to follow, but they are worth the trouble. He writes about emotional suffering and inner torment better than anyone else, I think.
And no, contrary to what that twit Sarah said, you do not need a Russian dictionary to enjoy Dostoevsky; the works I mentioned are readily available in fully-translated English. The ony Russian you'll encounter in his books are the names, which can be a bit confusing because of the various "patronymics" or variations they have. But it's not big deal! Read him!
