A character created by this author buys a copy of The Lives of the Saints with money earned making boots. That character refuses to reveal who he saw digging an escape tunnel, even though the digger was responsible for planting a bloody dagger in his bag and framing him for murder years earlier. A character created by this author cuts off his own finger in order to thwart the seductive efforts of Makovkina, who joins a convent in response. Another of this man's characters falls to his death while clearing snow from a roof, shortly after his father prevents him from marrying the cook Ustinya. This author of "God Sees the Truth, But Waits" and "Father Sergius" wrote a story in which a prophetic dream is confirmed when, despite barely making it back to the Bashkirs by sunset, Pahom collapses and dies, after which his servant buries him under six feet of earth. For 10 points, name this author of "Alyosha the Pot" and "How Much Land Does a Man Need?".
