A Gentle Creature and Other Stories: White Nights; A Gentle Creature; and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (The Worlds Classics)
by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Alan Myers, W. J. Leatherbarrow
Category: Fiction

In these stories Dostoevsky explores both the figure of the dreamer divorced from reality and also his own ambiguous attitude to utopianism, themes central to many of his great novels. This new translation captures the power and lyricism of Dostoevsky's writing, while the introduction examines the stories in relation to one another and to his novels.
