Dostoevsky Library (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)

• Crime and Punishment Brimming with psychological insights, this novel about a self-tormented man obsessed with committing a perfect crime is recognized as a masterpiece of world literature.
• The Brothers Karamazov The last and perhaps the greatest of Dostoevsky's works, Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel that wrestles courageously with the deepest questions about freedom, evil, and our quest for meaning.
• The Idiot Penned just two years after Crime and Punishment, this radically different novel vividly portrays Prince Myshkin, a Christ-like man whose very saintliness brings him and those he meets into disaster and grief.
• The Possessed This intensely political novel casts a searing indictment on the violent zealotry of anti-Tsarist ideologues while also criticizing the ineptitude of the conservative establishment.
• Notes from the Underground, The Double, and Other Stories In addition to two brilliant existential short novels, this paperback also include the stories "White Nights," "The Meek One," and "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man".
• The House of the Dead and Poor Folk This volume brings together Dostoevsky's first published work (Poor Folk) with a novel about prison life that is deeply imbued with the author's own horrific Siberian experiences.
