Publisher's Summary

Dostoevsky is primarily known for his monumental works like Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. However, he also wrote many excellent shorter works that embody the same exploration of human psychology on a smaller scale.

The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is one of his best short pieces. No less a writer than Virginia Woolf says of Dostoevsky, "Out of Shakespeare there is no more exciting reading."

this book caught me

I’ve been in such an existential place the last few months, and this book helped cement the philosophy that life’s worth living.

Great Book

Dostoevsky at his best! I love this book. There is so much packed into very few pages (minutes). The voice and pace of the reading was excellent & well suited to the telling of the story. I highly recommend this audio book.
