The Brothers Karamazov (Modern Library Series)»rank: 46433by: Constance Garnett
0ur opinion: :The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's crowning achievement, is a tale of patricide and family rivalry that embodies the moral and spiritual dissolution of an entire society (Russia in the 187Os). lt created a national furor comparable only to the excitement stirred by the publication, in 1866, of Crime and Punishment. To Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov captured the quintessence of Russian character in all its exaltation, compassion, and profligacy. Significantly, the book was on Tolstoy's bedside table when he died. ...

The Idiot»rank: 14842by: Fyodor Dostoyevsky
0ur opinion: :The ldiot (1868), written under the appalling personal circumstances Dostoevsky endured while travelling in Europe, not only reveals the author's acute artistic sense and penetrating psychological insight, but also affords his most powerful indictment of a Russia struggling to emulate contemporary Europe while sinking under the weight of Western materialism. lt is the portrait of nineteenth-century Russian society in which a 'positively good man' clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accomodate his moral idealism. Meticulously ...

Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky (Modern Library Classics (Sagebrush))»rank: 1465819by: Fyodor Dostoyevsky
0ur opinion: :This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at the short story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes as in his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tender and romantic White Nights, an archetypal nineteenth-century morality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous Notes from the Underground, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromising cynicism, and the first major ...
