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. 

فیوڈور ڈوسٹوئفسکی روس کے ایک مشہور مصنف تھے۔ وہ 1821 میں ماسکو میں پیدا ہوئے۔ وہ ایک ایسے خاندان میں پلے بڑھے جو کتابوں سے محبت کرتا تھا۔ ان کے والد ایک ڈاکٹر تھے۔ فیوڈور فوجی انجینئرنگ کے اسکول گئے، لیکن وہ انجینئرنگ سے زیادہ لکھنا پسند کرتے تھے۔

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. 

ان کی پہلی بڑی کتاب "غریب لوگ" کہلاتی تھی۔ لوگوں کو یہ بہت پسند آئی اور وہ مشہور ہو گئے، لیکن ان کی زندگی مشکل تھی۔ وہ جیل چلے گئے کیونکہ وہ ایک ایسے گروپ میں تھے جو حکومت سے متفق نہیں تھا۔ جیل میں رہنے کے بعد، انہوں نے سائبیریا کے ایک جیل کیمپ میں کئی سال گزارے۔

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. 

جیل کی زندگی بہت سخت تھی، لیکن اس نے اسے لوگوں اور ان کے درد کے بارے میں مزید سمجھنے میں مدد دی۔ اس نے اس کی بعد کی کتابوں کو بہت مضبوط اور معنی خیز بنا دیا۔ اس کی کچھ بہترین کتابیں "جرم اور سزا"، "بیوقوف"، "شیاطین" اور "برادران کارامازوف" ہیں۔ یہ کتابیں انصاف، ایمان اور زندگی کے معنی جیسے بڑے خیالات کے بارے میں بات کرتی ہیں۔

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. 

دوستوئیفسکی کے پاس اکثر پیسے نہیں ہوتے تھے اور وہ ہر وقت بیمار رہتے تھے۔ اس نے جوئے بازی کی وجہ سے بہت سارا پیسہ بھی کھو دیا۔ ان مسائل کے باوجود، وہ لکھتا رہا۔ اس نے شادی کی اور اس کا ایک خاندان تھا۔ خاندان ہونا اسے خوش کرتا تھا۔

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. 

وہ 1881 میں انتقال کر گئے کیونکہ انہیں پھیپھڑوں کے مسائل تھے۔ وہ 59 سال کے تھے۔ بہت سے لوگ ان کی تدفین میں آئے کیونکہ وہ ان کی کتابوں سے محبت کرتے تھے۔ آج، لوگ دستوئیفسکی کو جانتے ہیں کیونکہ وہ اب تک کے سب سے عظیم مصنفین میں سے ایک ہیں۔ دنیا بھر کے لوگ اب بھی ان کی کتابوں کو پڑھتے اور مطالعہ کرتے ہیں۔ ان کے کام کا ادب اور سوچ پر بڑا اثر ہوا ہے۔

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. 

مزیدار حقیقت: فیوڈور ڈوسٹائیفسکی کا ایک پالتو بلی تھا جس کا نام "کلئو" تھا۔ وہ اس بلی سے بہت محبت کرتا تھا اور اپنے خطوط میں "کلئو" کے بارے میں لکھا۔ اس نے سوچا کہ "کلئو" نے اس کی مدد کی اور اسے تحریک دی جب وہ لکھ رہا تھا۔
