Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky Collection: the Wedding, the Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Classic Collection (Brilliance Audio)) Unabridged edition

The Wedding: Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is considered one of the greatest Russian writers. His works have had a profound and lasting effect on 20th-century literature. His psychological penetration into the human soul had, in novels like Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, a profound influence on the 20th century novel. He also wrote a number of brilliant short stories along these same lines. "The Wedding" is one of his best. The Dream of a Ridiculous Man: Dostoevsky is primarily known for his monumental works like Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. However, he also wrote many excellent shorter works that embody the same exploration of human psychology on a smaller scale. The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is one of his best short pieces. Virginia Woolf says of Dostoevsky, "Out of Shakespeare there is no more exciting reading."
