The short works of Dostoevsky exist in the very large shadow of his astonishing longer novels, but they too are among literature's most revered works and offer keys to understanding the themes in his longer works. Contained in this volume are the short stories White Nights, A Disgraceful Affair, and The Dream of the Ridiculous Man, three of Dostoevsky's most troubling, moving, and poignant works.

"Rarely do I come across a book that makes me think beyond the simple messages the author is trying to send. Dostoevsky has the ability not only to create a connection to unsavory aspects of the human condition but to link it to the reader's personal experience." — Oi (5 out of 5 stars)

" Last story, "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," is pretty awesome. "
" The three stories by Dostoevsky are pretty amazing but the bonus story was not as great. Dostoevsky is a tough act to follow, Barb Johnson never stood a chance. "
" The last story "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" was excellent. And the story for which the book is named, is a very descriptive title. "
" Hoe een missje om humaniteit te tonen volledig fout kan lopen... "
" Wow! Dostoyevsky is heavy! Not sure if I could make it through Crime and Punishment! His short stories were a good place to start. Very philosophical and a reflection of the time period which I always find fascinating... "
