An explosive tale of epic proportions, war and Peace, one of the best known Russian Historical Novels, is as much a story of love and adultery as it is of war and death. With a deep insight into the war stricken Russia, It underlines the irrational motives of human behavior in both war and peace.

Featured stories include “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man,” “Bobok,” “An Honest Thief,” “An Unpleasant Predicament,” “Another Man’s Wife,” “The Peasant Marey,” “The Crocodile,” “A Faint Heart,” “A Christmas Tree and a Wedding,” and the title work. Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821&;1881) created powerful depictions of the human condition that led to significant developments in twentieth-century thought, including psychoanalysis and existentialism. His influence resonates in the works of latter-day authors such as Proust, Faulkner, Hemingway, and Kafka. This collection of his short stories offers thought-provoking glimpses into the Russian author’s moving portrayals of the conflict between flesh and spirit.
