On Dostoevsky's Introductions

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dostoevsky attached introductions to his most challenging narratives. Despite his clever attempts to call his readers' attention to these introductions, they have been neglected as an object of study. That oversight is rectified in First Words, the first systematic study of Dostoevsky's introductions.
