Imagine the concept of a garage when they were first being created: you were forced to turn a part of your living room, dining room or bedroom into a place to safely park your car! (Jackson, 1985…

Though Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky, two of Russia’s greatest authors, differ greatly, many of the themes that show up throughout their writings are strikingly similar.
