The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky (Modern Library)

This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at the short story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes as in his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tender and romantic White Nights, an archetypal nineteenth-century morality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous Notes from the Underground, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromising cynicism, and the first major work of existential literature. Among Dostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The Honest Thief, whose tra... [Read More]

7 best short stories by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky passed away in 1881, but still generates discussions about his quality as an author and the relevance of his works. Recognized and revered still in life, Dostoevsky was later questioned by such peremptory figures as Nabokov who said: "Dostoevsky's gallery of characters consists almost exclusively of neurotics and lunatics." Nowadays, the themes of his works and his morally contentious characters generate controversy even at the high summit of Russian politics. But Dostoevsky always had grand admirers, such as Hemingway, who said: "There were things believable and not to be be... [Read More]

The Crocodile and Other Stories (riverrun Editions): Dostoevsky's finest short stories in the timeless translations of Constance Garnett

'I have always been ridiculous, and I have known it, perhaps from the hour I was born'A man goes mad because he is happy.A civil servant behaves like a monster at a wedding-party.A man is swallowed by a crocodile, but not eaten nor seriously damaged.Dostoevsky's stories inhabit similarly volcanic atmospheres as his novels, places of curiosity and exception.
