'Dostoyevsky's finest masterpiece' John BayleyDostoyevsky's great novel of damnation and redemption evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur. It tells the story of Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, who wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be beyond conventional moral laws. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck.

'The most magnificent novel ever written' Sigmund FreudThe murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur, and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.Translated with an Introduction and notes by DAVID McDUFF

Pyotr and Stavrogin are the leaders of a Russian revolutionary cell. Their aim is to overthrow the Tsar, destroy society and seize power for themselves. Together they train terrorists who are willing to go to any lengths to achieve their goals even if the mission means suicide. But when it seems the group is about to be discovered, will their recruits be willing to kill one of their own circle in order to cover their tracks? Partly based on the real-life case of a student murdered by his fellow revolutionaries, Dostoyevsky s sprawling novel is a powerful and prophetic, yet lively and often comic depiction of nineteenth-century Russia, and a savage indictment of the madness and self-destruction of those who use violence to serve their beliefs

The shorter works of one of the world's greatest writers, including the classics The Gambler and Notes From the Underground.The short works of Dostoevsky exist in the very large shadow of his astonishing longer novels, but they too are among the best works in the history of literature. The Gambler chronicles Dostoevsky's own addiction, which he eventually overcame. Many have argued that Notes From the Underground contains several keys to understanding the themes of the longer novels, like Crime and Punishment and The Idiot. Those stories are joined here by other classics, including White Nights and The Eternal Husband.In the introduction to this volume, Ronald Hingley writes: ?It is admittedly impossible to evaluate or understand Dostoevsky's major work properly without taking into account his less voluminous writings, (and) it is also true that many of his shorter works are masterpieces in their own right?as it is hoped the reader may remind himself or discover for the first time...?

Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist from the 19th century, wrote The Idiot. It was initially serialized in The Russian Messenger in the years 1868-1869 The title is a wry allusion to the story's protagonist, Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man whose benevolence, open-hearted innocence, and guilelessness cause many of the worldlier persons he meets to believe falsely that he lacks wisdom and understanding. After spending four years receiving treatment for an epileptic illness in a Swiss facility, Prince Myshkin is now returning to Russia. He meets Parfyon Semyonovich Rogozhin, a young trader, and is deeply moved by his ardor for a lady. Nastasya Filippovna struggles to decide between Myshkin and Rogozhin for the ensuing six months. They separate as friends despite their conflict, but the Prince is still worried. Aglaya seems to share Myshkin's fascination as he starts to fall in love with her. She frequently makes fun of him or violently chastises him for his innocence and excessive humility. A dinner party is planned since her mother thinks it's appropriate to introduce the Prince to their elite group. Although Aglaya tries to instruct him on proper behavior since she does not share her parents' admiration for these individuals, she curtly advises him to be as quirky as he pleases.

Notes from Underground, also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld) is a novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in the journal Epoch in 1864. It is a first-person narrative in the form of a "confession": the work was originally announced by Dostoevsky in Epoch under the title "A Confession".The novella presents itself as an excerpt from the memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. Although the first part of the novella has the form of a monologue, the narrator's form of address to his reader is acutely dialogized. According to Mikhail Bakhtin, in the Underground Man's confession "there is literally not a single monologically firm, undissociated word". The Underground Man's every word anticipates the words of an other, with whom he enters into an obsessive internal polemic.The Underground Man attacks contemporary Russian philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done? More generally, the work can be viewed as an attack on and rebellion against determinism: the idea that everything, including the human personality and will, can be reduced to the laws of nature, science and mathematics

Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story "The Gambler" is about a young teacher working for a once-rich Russian general. The novella, which was in many respects inspired by Dostoevsky's own addiction to roulette, illustrates this behavior: Dostoevsky finished the book in 1866 under pressure to finish it before he had to pay off gambling debts. The Gambler dealt with gambling, a topic that Fyodor Dostoevsky was familiar with. In 1863, Fyodor Dostoevsky played a hand of cards at a Wiesbaden casino. He played frequently at Baden-Baden, Homburg, and Saxon-Les-Bains from that point on until 1871, when his fervor for gambling petered out. Frequently, he would start out winning a modest sum of money and end up losing much more. Fyodor Dostoevsky and F. T. Stellovsky then entered into a risky contract whereby Stellovsky would acquire the right to publish Dostoevsky's works for nine years, until 1 November 1875, without paying the author any money. This clause would apply if Dostoevsky failed to deliver a novel with 12 or more signatures by 1 November 1866. He jotted down some of his story's details before dictating them to one of Russia's earliest stenographers and his future bride, young Anna Grigorevna, who carefully wrote them out for him.

THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV:- is a novel written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and published in 1879-80. This book is generally considered to be his masterpiece and probably greatest novel. Although it is the story of Fyodor Karamazov and his sons Alyosha, Dmitry, and Ivan, it is also a story of patricide and Dostoyevsky introduces a love-hate struggle with psychological and spiritual implications. There persists a search for faith, for God, throughout the novel which is the central idea of the work. Ivan's repudiation of God's world is elucidated in the famous "Legend of the Grand Inquisitor." There is a response to Ivan that is contained in the preaching of the monk Zosima. It clearly states that the secret of universal harmony is achieved not by the mind but by the heart. Alyosha, Dostoyevsky's attempts to create a realistic Christ figure.The focuses on Dostoyevsky's theological and philosophical themes: the origin of evil, the nature of freedom, and the craving for faith. While tracing the dynamics of Ivan's guilt, the author provides a psychological justification for Christian teaching.

Fyodor Dostoevsky's story Notes from Underground was initially presented in the 1864 issue of Epoch. It is a first-person account that takes the form of a "confession." Dostoevsky initially published the piece in Epoch under the title "A Confession." The novella presents itself as an excerpt from the memoirs of a bitter, reclusive, unidentified narrator who lives in St. Petersburg and is a retired civil official (sometimes referred to as the Underground Man by critics). Although the novella's first section is written in the style of a monologue, the narrator's dialogue with the reader is sharply dialogized. In the Underground Man's confession, "there is literally not a single nomologically firm, the undissociated word," according to Mikhail Bakhtin. Every word spoken by The Underground Man anticipates another's, with whom he engages in an obsessive mental debate. The Underground Man criticizes modern Russian philosophy, particularly What Is to Be Done by Nikolay Chernyshevsky. The work might be seen as an attack and a rebellion against determinism, which holds that everything, including human individuality and volition, can be boiled down to natural laws, scientific principles, and mathematical formulae. There are two sections to the novella.
