Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky
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 tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime. Presented in chronological order, in David Magar-shack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories. "Dostoevsky, the only psychologist from whom I had something to learn."

100 Quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ljudbok
Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the greatest Russian writers that ever lived. His works continue to influence writers and philosophers to this day.After becoming a second lieutenant, he resigned from the army in 1859 and committed himself completely to writing. He became an admired writer after the publication of 'Crime and Punishment' (1866) and 'The Idiot' (1869). The author's final book was also his opus magnus. 'The Brothers Karamazov' was serialised in the periodical 'Russkiy Vestnik' between January 1879 and November 1880. Dostoyevsky died of a pulmonary haemorrhage three months later in February 1881. These 100 quotations aim to give the listener access to his monumental work through a selection of his most outstanding thoughts, in a format accessible to all. A quotation is more than an extract from a statement, it can be a witticism, a summary of complex thought, a maxim or an opening to a deeper reflection.
Fyodor Dostoevsky–Darkness and Dawn (1848–1849)
Fyodor Dostoevsky—Darkness and Dawn (1848–1849), the third and final volume on the writer's childhood, adolescence, and youth, seeks to disclose, in a detailed and intimate way, Dostoevsky's last two years before his exile to Siberia. Together with the first two volumes, it attempts to present for the first time a complete and congruent picture of the writer's first twenty-eight years. Thomas Gaiton Marullo first examines diverse responses of the Russian church, state, and citizens to the French socialists, in particular, Charles Fourier, and to the revolutions of 1848 before he moves to lively debates on Dostoevsky's socialism and new attacks on his writings. He then considers the dynamics of the Petrashevsky and Durov circles; fresh assaults on Dostoevsky's works; and the increasing desperation of the writer himself, particularly with Andrei Kraevsky. In the final sections of the book, Marullo sheds light on Dostoevsky's readings of Belinsky's letter to Gogol, the arrests of
