The Very Best Of Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky is widely regarded as one of the finest novelists in literary history. He was also a compelling journalist, known for leaving a strong impression on readers through his incisive and often prophetic writings. His works are considered visionary for their accurate predictions of how Russia’s revolutionaries would behave if they came to power. Dostoyevsky's brilliance lies in his deep psychological insight—his exploration of pathological mental states that lead to insanity, murder, and suicide, as well as the intense emotions of humiliation, self-destruction, tyrannical domination, and murderous rage. This earned him the reputation of being the greatest psychologist in the history of literature. His ideas have deeply influenced literary modernism, psychology, theology, and critical theory. He is best known for his novella Notes from the Underground and for his major novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed (also known as The Demons or The Devils), and The Brothers Karamazov. This short story collection includes some of his most celebrated works: The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, The Crocodile, The Heavenly Christmas Tree, and Bobok.
