Download or read book The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 work of existential literature. Among Dostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The Honest Thief, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime. Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories.
Download or read book Dostoyevsky s Notes from the Underground and Gorky s the Confession written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth book of ABSURD's 'Pure Wisdom' series. It includes two literary masterpieces written by two giants in the world literature, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Maxim Gorky. The contents of the book are Dostoyevsky's 'Notes from the Underground' and Gorky's 'The Confession'. 'The Confession' is a confession of a man wandering through Russia seeking a philosophy to live by. 'Notes from the Underground' is also a confession of a man who is on the margins of modern society, it examines the effects modern life has on that man's personality- who has gradually gone mad over a lifetime of inability to cope with the society around him. "Notes from the Underground" was the first major work of Dostoyevsky. It is considered to be the first existential novel that influenced other literary giants and philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of the 19th century. He was a psychologist before psychology was born as a term like now, and his observations were sharp and universal. This novel is still relevant, the themes of the novel- industrialism, utopianism, western markets, the grip of science and technology on truth- are the themes of today too. "The Confession" gives insight into some compelling Russian and wider human themes explored by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov and Gorky himself; these include the roles of the church, the state, and individuals, ubiquitous human questions of love, fear and death, and the responsibilities people have for one another. "The Confession" is a first-person account of Matvei, who is abandoned soon after his birth. Matvei, like Gorky himself, is a seeker for truth who learns as he travels. He meets other kindred souls on his way, including a young boy who tells him "I'm not a tree; I don't have to live my whole life in the same spot." An old pilgrim he meets says "it is not right to say to man, 'stand here, ' but always, 'go farther and farther.'" In two very different and powerful ways, both the novels carry in their cores a common theme which is "Man vs. Society." Society can harm an individual and it can support an individual to flourish too. The growths of the individuals also mean the growths of a society, of a nation, of this very world. How can a society grow by keeping its individuals suppressed?

Book excerpt: Welcome to the 7 Best Short Stories book series, were we present to you the best works of remarkable authors. This edition is dedicated to James Joyce. James Joyce was an Irish, modernist writer who wrote in a ground-breaking style that was known both for its complexity and explicit content. He also participated in the early days of poetic modernism in the English language, being considered by Ezra Pound one of the most eminent poets of imagism. Although Joyce has lived outside his native Irish island for most of adult life, his Irish identity was essential to his work and provide him with all the ambiance and much of the theme of his work. His fictional universe is rooted heavily in Dublin and reflects his family life and events, friendships and enmities from school and college times. In this way, he is at the same time one of the most cosmopolitan and one of the most particularists of the modernist authors of English language. In this anthology the critic August Nemo presents seven short stories that bring the most emblematic elements of the style of this important author: The Sisters, Eveline, Araby, A Painful Case, The Dead, Two Gallants and After the Race. Bonus: James Joyce's Amazing Chronicle by Joseph Collins and James Joyce by John Macy. If you appreciate good literature, be sure to check out the other Tacet Books titles!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Leading scholars from Eastern and Western Europe offer a comprehensive overview of Russian translation history examining a variety of domains, including literature, philosophy and religion. Divided into three parts, this book highlights Russian contributions to translation theory and demonstrates how theoretical perspectives developed within the field help conceptualize relevant problems in cultural context in pre-Soviet, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia.
