A Gentle Creature and Other Stories by Fyodor Dostoevsky
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.
The new translations read smoothly, and Professor William Leatherbarrow's introductory essay is helpfully informative* Sunday Telegraph *
