The small town of Mordasov is all abuzz at the arrival of Prince
K-, a wealthy, ageing landowner, after an absence of several years.
Marya Alexandrovna Moskaleva, a local gossip and fearsome schemer,
decides that he would be an advantageous match for her daughter
Zina. But in her endeavours to make such a union come about, she
must contend with rival matchmakers and Zina's existing suitors.
The first book Dostoevsky wrote after serving his sentence in a
Siberian prison camp - an experience that inspired his
semi-autobiographical novel The House of the Dead - Uncle's Dream
shares none of that work's gloomy tone or weighty subject matter:
it is a humorous drawing-room novella, a satire of Russian society
that can be enjoyed as a lighter counterpoint to the author's later
works.
