This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven ofDostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at theshort story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes asin his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tenderand romantic White Nights, an archetypal nineteenth-centurymorality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous Notes from theUnderground, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromisingcynicism, and the first major work of existential literature. AmongDostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The HonestThief, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime.Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebratedtranslation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's beststories.
