This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoevsky'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 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. Among Dostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The Honest Thief, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime. Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories.

This is the fourth book of ABSURD's 'Pure Wisdom' series. It includes two literary masterpieces written by two giants in the world literature, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Maxim Gorky. The contents of the book are Dostoyevsky's 'Notes from the Underground' and Gorky's 'The Confession'. 'The Confession' is a confession of a man wandering through Russia seeking a philosophy to live by. 'Notes from the Underground' is also a confession of a man who is on the margins of modern society, it examines the effects modern life has on that man's personality- who has gradually gone mad over a lifetime of inability to cope with the society around him. "Notes from the Underground" was the first major work of Dostoyevsky. It is considered to be the first existential novel that influenced other literary giants and philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of the 19th century. He was a psychologist before psychology was born as a term like now, and his observations were sharp and universal. This novel is still relevant, the themes of the novel- industrialism, utopianism, western markets, the grip of science and technology on truth- are the themes of today too. "The Confession" gives insight into some compelling Russian and wider human themes explored by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov and Gorky himself; these include the roles of the church, the state, and individuals, ubiquitous human questions of love, fear and death, and the responsibilities people have for one another. "The Confession" is a first-person account of Matvei, who is abandoned soon after his birth. Matvei, like Gorky himself, is a seeker for truth who learns as he travels. He meets other kindred souls on his way, including a young boy who tells him "I'm not a tree; I don't have to live my whole life in the same spot." An old pilgrim he meets says "it is not right to say to man, 'stand here, ' but always, 'go farther and farther.'" In two very different and powerful ways, both the novels carry in their cores a common theme which is "Man vs. Society." Society can harm an individual and it can support an individual to flourish too. The growths of the individuals also mean the growths of a society, of a nation, of this very world. How can a society grow by keeping its individuals suppressed?

Poor Folk, sometimes translated as Poor People, is the first novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, written over the span of nine months between 1844 and 1845. Dostoyevsky was in financial difficulty because of his extravagant living and his developing gambling addiction; although he had produced some translations of foreign novels, they had little success, and he decided to write a novel of his own to try to raise funds. Inspired by the works of Gogol, Pushkin, and Karamzin, as well as English and French authors, Poor Folk is written in the form of letters between the two main characters, Makar Devushkin and Varvara Dobroselova, who are poor second cousins. The novel showcases the life of poor people, their relationship with rich people, and poverty in general, all common themes of literary naturalism. A deep but odd friendship develops between them until Dobroselova loses her interest in literature, and later in communicating with Devushkin after a rich widower Mr. Bykov proposes to her. Devushkin, a prototype of the clerk found in many works of naturalistic literature at that time, retains his sentimental characteristics; Dobroselova abandons art, while Devushkin cannot live without literature. Contemporary critics lauded Poor Folk for its humanitarian themes. While Vissarion Belinsky dubbed the novel Russia's first "social novel" and Alexander Herzen called it a major socialist work, other critics detected parody and satire. The novel uses a complicated polyphony of voices from different perspectives and narrators. Initially offered by Dostoyevsky to the liberal-leaning magazine Fatherland Notes, the novel was published in the almanac, St. Petersburg Collection, on January 15, 1846. It became a huge success nationwide. Parts of it were translated into German by Wilhelm Wolfsohn and published in an 1846/1847 magazine. The first English translation was provided by Lena Milman in 1894, with an introduction by George Moore, cover art design by Aubrey Beardsley and publication by London's Mathews and Lane.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (11 November 1821 - 9 February 1881), sometimes transliterated as Dostoyevsky, was a Russian novelist, philosopher, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. Dostoevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). Dostoevsky's body of works consists of 12 novels, four novellas, 16 short stories, and numerous other works. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychological novelists in world literature. His 1864 novel Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature. Dostoevsky was influenced by a wide variety of philosophers and authors including Pushkin, Gogol, Augustine, Shakespeare, Dickens, Balzac, Lermontov, Hugo, Poe, Plato, Cervantes, Herzen, Kant, Belinsky, Hegel, Schiller, Solovyov, Bakunin, Sand, Hoffmann, and Mickiewicz. His writings were widely read both within and beyond his native Russia and influenced an equally great number of later writers including Russians such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Anton Chekhov, philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre and the emergence of Existentialism and Freudianism. His books have been translated into more than 170 languages, and served as the basis for many films. (wikipedia.org)
