Contrasting the Literary Giants: Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy (An overview)

"Dueling Minds, Captivating Words: Exploring the Contrasting Worlds of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy" Leo Tolstoy & Fyodor Dostoevsky "The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive but in finding something to live for." - Fyodor Dostoevsky "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." - Leo Tolstoy (Anna Karenina) This article is solely dedicated to my two writers who changed my perception opened my eyes to the possibilities and changed my way of thinking when I was in desperate need to believe in the dark and light can co-exist in some way. I first ever came to know of them randomly finding their translated books in the unknown numbered library shelf. I had lost all hope to let my family study me instead forcing me to start a family, there I was in a summer home went to a library seeking solace.  Their books captivated me, rocked me, changed me entirely. For all these years of my achievements i owe it to them
