This unique collection gathers seven of Dostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at the short story and the novel. Exploring many of the same themes that resonate 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. Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebrated translation, this volume also includes "The Honest Thief," "The Christmas Tree and a Wedding," "The Peasant Marey," "A Gentle Creature," and "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man."Dostoyevsky, Fyodor is the author of 'Best Stories Of Fyodor Dostoevsky ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780345481269 and ISBN 0345481267.
