Popis
In the stories in this volume 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.
In White Nights the apparent idyll of the dreamer's romantic
fantasies disguises profound loneliness and estrangement from
'living life'. Despite his sentimental friendship with Nastenka,
his final withdrawal into the world of the imagination anticipates
the retreat into the 'underground' of many of Dostoevsky's later
intellectual heroes. A Gentle Creature and The Dream of a
Ridiculous Man show how such withdrawal from reality can end in
spiritual desolation and moral indifference and how, in
Dostoevsky's view, the tragedy of the alienated individual can be
resolved only by the rediscovery of a sense of compassion and
responsibility towards fellow human beings. 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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Readership: Students of Russian literature from undergraduate level
upwards; students studying ninteenth-century novella.
