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.
