Book Description
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 believed, but some that changed you as you read them; frailty and madness, wickedness and saintliness, and the insanity of gambling were there to know ". Even outside literary circles, Russian questioning about the human soul has left its mark, as Albert Einstein wrote: "Dostoevsky offers me more than any scientist, more than Gauss," also describing Russian as "great religious writer" which explores "the mystery of spiritual existence" So that you can join the great minds and form your opinion on this giant of Russian literature, the critic August Nemo separated seven of his short stories for your appreciation: White Nights An Honest Thief The Christmas Tree and the Wedding Notes From Underground The Dream of a Ridiculous Man A Little Hero Mr. Prohartchin

White Nights and Other Stories: The Novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Volume X
Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Publisher: Aegitas
ISBN: 0369411722
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
The book containing seven short stories by Fyodor Dostoevsky offers an eclectic mix of narratives that delve into the complex and often conflicted nature of the human psyche. From the exploration of solitude and unrequited love in "White Nights" to the examination of existential despair and misanthropy in "Notes from Underground," Dostoevsky crafts evocative and thought-provoking tales that showcase his prowess as a master storyteller. In "White Nights," the protagonist finds solace in a brief but intense connection with a stranger he encounters during the sleepless nights of the St. Petersburg summer. Dostoevsky explores themes of isolation, longing, and the painful yearning for human connection, ultimately leaving readers with a poignant reflection on the transient nature of happiness and the possibility of true love. "Notes from Underground," one of Dostoevsky's most famous works, takes readers on a psychological journey into the mind of a tormented and erratic narrator. Through a series of rambling and introspective monologues, Dostoevsky exposes the darker aspects of human nature, grappling with existential questions and shedding light on the inherent contradictions within society. "A Faint Heart" explores themes of social inferiority and the destructive power of pride. The story follows a timid and indecisive protagonist as he navigates the complex webs of societal expectations and personal desires. With biting irony and sharp social commentary, Dostoevsky highlights the destructive consequences of an unchecked ego. In "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding," Dostoevsky presents a story imbued with a sense of hope and redemption. The narrative weaves together elements of tragedy and comedy, exploring themes of forgiveness, second chances, and the transformative power of love. Through the juxtaposition of joy and sorrow, Dostoevsky reminds readers of the unpredictable nature of life and the potential for personal growth. "Polzunkov" dives into the world of bureaucracy and political corruption, where a seemingly insignificant civil servant becomes entangled in a web of deceit and manipulation. Dostoevsky captures the absurdity of a system that values power over morality, offering a scathing critique of societal structures that prioritize self-interest over collective welfare. "A Little Hero" tells the story of a boy who sacrifices his own happiness for the sake of others. Dostoevsky explores themes of selflessness, sacrifice, and the devastating consequences of societal pressures on the individual. With poignant storytelling, he reveals the capacity for both heroism and tragedy that lies within us all. Finally, "Mr. Prohartchin" explores the theme of moral decay in society through the eyes of the eponymous character. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing, post-Napoleonic Russia, this story delves into the destructive effects of greed, materialism, and moral corruption. Dostoevsky offers a scathing critique of a society that has lost its way, ultimately leaving readers with a haunting reflection on the fragility of morality. In this collection of stories, Dostoevsky showcases his remarkable ability to delve into the depths of the human experience. Through his rich character development, unflinching social commentary, and nuanced exploration of themes such as love, isolation, and the inherent contradictions within humanity, the author masterfully captures the essence of what it means to be human. These seven short stories are a testament to Dostoevsky's timeless brilliance and continue to enthrall readers with their piercing insights into the human condition.
