From the author of
Crime and Punishment comes this remarkable collection of short fiction. A selection of ten compelling tales, steeped in Dostoyevsky’s characteristic themes of spiritual torment and psychological struggle, evoke life in Czarist Russia. Featured stories include ‘The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, ‘ ‘Bobok, ‘ ‘An Honest Thief, ‘ ‘An Unpleasant Predicament, ‘ ‘Another Man’s Wife, ‘ ‘The Peasant Marey, ‘ ‘The Crocodile, ‘ ’A Faint Heart, ‘ ‘A Christmas Tree and a Wedding, ‘ and the title work. Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881) created powerful depictions of the human condition that led to significant developments in twentieth-century thought, including psychoanalysis and existentialism. His influence resonates in the works of latter-day authors such as Proust, Faulkner, Hemingway, and Kafka. This collection of his short stories offers thought-provoking glimpses into the Russian author’s moving portrayals of the conflict between flesh and spirit.
