Fyodor Dostoevsky 
Read a short story of a famous Russian writer who wrote about strong feelings and tough choices in his books. 
1.1
Fyodor Dostoevsky was a famous writer from Russia.  He was born in 1821 in Moscow.  He grew up in a family that loved books.  His father was a doctor.  Fyodor went to a school for military engineering, but he loved writing more than engineering. 

표도르 도스토옙스키는 러시아의 유명한 작가였습니다. 그는 1821년 모스크바에서 태어났습니다. 그는 책을 사랑하는 가족 속에서 자랐습니다. 그의 아버지는 의사였습니다. 표도르는 군사 공학 학교에 다녔지만, 그는 공학보다 글쓰기를 더 좋아했습니다.

1.2
His first big book was called "Poor Folk."  People liked it a lot and he became famous, but he had a hard life.  He went to jail because he was in a group that did not agree with the government.  After being in jail, he spent many years in a Siberian prison camp. 

그의 첫 번째 큰 책은 "가난한 사람들"이라고 불렸다. 사람들은 그것을 매우 좋아했고 그는 유명해졌지만, 그는 힘든 삶을 살았다. 그는 정부와 동의하지 않는 그룹에 있었기 때문에 감옥에 갔다. 감옥에 간 후, 그는 시베리아의 수용소에서 여러 해를 보냈다.

1.3
Life in prison was very tough, but it helped him understand more about people and their pain.  This made his later books very strong and meaningful.  Some of his best books are "Crime and Punishment," "The Idiot," "Demons," and "The Brothers Karamazov."  These books talk about big ideas like justice, faith, and what life means. 

감옥 생활은 매우 힘들었지만, 그것은 그가 사람들과 그들의 고통에 대해 더 많이 이해하는 데 도움이 되었습니다. 이것은 그의 후기 책들을 매우 강력하고 의미 있게 만들었습니다. 그의 최고의 책 중 일부는 "죄와 벌", "바보", "악령", 그리고 "카라마조프 가의 형제들"입니다. 이 책들은 정의, 신앙, 그리고 삶의 의미와 같은 큰 아이디어에 대해 이야기합니다.

1.4
Dostoevsky often did not have any money and he was sick all the time.  He also lost a lot of money because he liked to gamble.  Even with these problems, he continued to write.  He got married and he had a family.  Having a family made him happy. 

도스토예프스키는 종종 돈이 없었고 그는 항상 아팠습니다. 그는 또한 도박을 좋아해서 많은 돈을 잃었습니다. 이러한 문제들에도 불구하고, 그는 계속 글을 썼습니다. 그는 결혼했고 가족이 생겼습니다. 가족을 갖는 것은 그를 행복하게 했습니다.

1.5
He died in 1881 because he had lung problems.  He was 59 years old.  Many people came to his funeral because they loved his books.  Today, People know Dostoevsky because he is one of the greatest writers ever.  People around the world still read and study his books.  His work has had a big effect on literature and thinking. 

그는 폐 문제로 1881년에 사망했습니다. 그는 59세였습니다. 많은 사람들이 그의 책을 사랑했기 때문에 그의 장례식에 왔습니다. 오늘날, 사람들은 도스토옙스키를 역사상 가장 위대한 작가 중 한 명으로 알고 있습니다. 전 세계 사람들은 여전히 그의 책을 읽고 연구합니다. 그의 작품은 문학과 사상에 큰 영향을 미쳤습니다.

1.6
Fun fact: Fyodor Dostoevsky had a pet cat named "Clio."  He loved this cat very much and wrote about "Clio" in his letters.  He thought "Clio" helped and inspired him when he was writing. 

재미있는 사실: 표도르 도스토옙스키는 "클리오"라는 이름의 애완 고양이가 있었습니다. 그는 이 고양이를 매우 사랑했고 그의 편지에서 "클리오"에 대해 썼습니다. 그는 "클리오"가 그가 글을 쓸 때 도움을 주고 영감을 준다고 생각했습니다.
