Produktbeschreibung

Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of the greatest Russian writers, is more renowned for his novels than his short stories. Nevertheless, he also wrote several short stories throughout his literary career. Here are some of his most famous short stories: "The Gambler": This short story explores the theme of gambling addiction and the disastrous consequences it can have on a man's life. "A Gentle Creature" (sometimes translated as "The Meek One" or "The Gentle Spirit"): This story delves into the complex and tragic relationship between a pawnbroker and his wife. "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man": In this short story, a man contemplates suicide but is transported to a strange dream world where he discovers the meaning of life. "The Grand Inquisitor": This is a part of Dostoevsky's novel "The Brothers Karamazov," but it can be read as a standalone story. It is a profound philosophical dialogue between the Grand Inquisitor and Jesus Christ. "White Nights" (sometimes translated as "Netochka Nezvanova"): This is a romantic short story that follows the encounters of a lonely dreamer with a woman he meets on the streets of St. Petersburg. Dostoevsky's short stories touch on themes similar to those in his novels, including morality, human psychology, faith, and despair. Each of these stories provides a glimpse into Dostoevsky's mastery in creating complex characters and psychologically rich scenarios.
