Summary

En los cuentos de Dostoievski aparecen algunos de los motivos recurrentes en toda su obra: estafadores estafados, avaros delirantes o ladrones raramente honrados, todo ello tratado con la vena satírica y humorística que lo ha convertido en un clásico. Las historias que se incluyen en este volumen ofrecen al lector una visión amplia de la compleja personalidad artística del escritor ruso, que siempre consideró su deber «rehabilitar al individuo destruido, aplastado por el injusto yugo de las circunstancias, del estancamiento secular y de los prejuicios sociales».


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoivski'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 nineteenthcentury 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.
