The short works of Dostoevsky exist in the very large shadow of
his astonishing longer novels, but they too are among literature's
most revered works and offer keys to understanding the themes in
his longer works. Contained in this volume are the short stories
"White Nights," "A Disgraceful Affair," and "The Dream of the
Ridiculous Man," three of Dostoevsky's most troubling, moving, and
poignant works.
Alongside A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR, Harper Perennial will publish
the short fiction of Stephen Crane, Herman Melville, Willa Cather,
Leo Tolstoy, and Oscar Wilde to be packaged in a beautifully
designed, boldly colorful boxset in the aim to attract contemporary
fans of short fiction to these revered masters of the form. Also,
in each of these selections will appear a story from one of the new
collections being published in 2009. A story from Barb Johnson's
forthcoming collection will be printed at the back of this
volume.
