The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky
Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky
Publisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 0375756884
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
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 Magarshack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories.

B is for Bauhaus
Author: Deyan Sudjic
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0718199472
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
This book is not a dictionary, though it tells you all you need know about everything from Authenticity to Zips. It's not an autobiography, though it does offer a revealing and highly personal inside view of contemporary culture. It's an essential tool kit for understanding the modern world. It's about what makes a Warhol a genuine fake; the creation of national identities; the mania to collect. It's also about the world seen from the rear view mirror of Grand Theft Auto V; digital ornament and why we value imperfection. It's about drinking a bruisingly dry martini in Adolf Loo's American bar in Vienna, and about Hitchcock's film sets. It's about fashion and technology, about politics and art.

The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781420964219
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
After a brief military career, the illustrious Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky quickly turned to writing as a profession with the publication of his first novel, "Poor Folk" in 1846. This novel sparked a literary career that would eventually cement Dostoyevsky's reputation as one of the greatest novelists of the nineteenth century. Early participation in a literary political group landed the writer in exile in Siberia for nearly a decade, an experience which had a profound influence on Dostoyevsky's understanding of fate, the suffering of human beings, and resulted in a powerful religious conversion experience. Dostoyevsky's works are marked by his penetrating exploration of psychology and morality and today he is considered one of the most important "existentialist" writers. This representative collection of Dostoyevsky's short stories spans his impressive career and includes such classics as "White Nights", a heartbreaking tale of loss; the famous "Notes from the Underground", an important work of guilt and cynicism; and "The Honest Thief", which centers on a sad criminal who cannot resist committing crimes. Also included in the this collection are "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding", "The Peasant Marey", "A Faint Heart", and "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man". This edition follows the translations of Constance Garnett and is printed on premium acid-free paper.
