Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel, The Karamazov Brothers (1880) is both a brilliantly told crime story and a passionate philosophical debate. The dissolute landowner Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is murdered; his sons - the atheist intellectual Ivan, the hot-blooded Dmitry, and the saintly novice Alyosha - are all at some level involved. Bound up with this intense family drama is Dostoevsky's exploration of many deeply felt ideas about the existence of God, the question of human freedom, the collective nature of guilt, the disatrous consequences of rationalism. The novel is also richly comic: the Russian Orthodox Church, the legal system, and even the authors most cherisehd causes and beliefs are presented with a note of irreverence, so that orthodoxy, and radicalism, sanity and madness, love and hatred, right and wrong are no longer mutually exclusive. Rebecca West considered it "the allegory for the world's maturity", but with children to the fore. This new translation does full justice to Doestoevsky's genius, particularly in the use of the spoken word, which ranges over every mode of human expression.

Three full length novels collected in one edition formatted for the Kindle.
FYODOR MIKHAILOVICH DOSTOYEVSKY [1821-1881] was a Russian writer of novels and short stories .
In 1841, he graduated from Saint Petersburg Academy of Military Engineering. In 1845, he published his first novel Poor Folk in the magazine Sovremennik. The poet Nikolai Nekrasov, editor of the magazine, said of Dostoyevsky, "a new Gogol has arisen!" In 1846, he published The Double. It was received with dissaponting reaction. In 1849, he was arrested and sentenced to death for being a member of the Petrashevsky Circle. The sentence was reduced to four years hard labor at a prison camp in Omsk, Siberia. Of the experience he wrote, "In summer, intolerable closeness; in winter, unendurable cold. All the floors were rotten. Filth on the floors an inch thick; one could slip and fall... We were packed like herrings in a barrel...There was no room to turn around. From dusk to dawn it was impossible not to behave like pigs... Fleas, lice, and black beetles by the bushel..." In 1854, and was required to serve five years in the Russian army at Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. In 1866, he published Crime and Punishment which made him one of Russia's most popular authors. In 1867, he published The Gambler. He had become a frequent visitor to casinos and wrote the book to pay debts. From 1873 to 1881, he published the Writer's Diary, a magazine of short stories and articles on current events.
Many leading authors have been influenced by him including Proust, Faulkner, Camus, Kafka, Kerouac, and Salinger. Hemingway cited his influence in A Moveable Feast. James Joyce said of him, "...he is the man more than any other who has created modern prose ..."

Set in the 1870s, a time of social disorder in Russia, An Accidental Family ( 1875) is the story of Arkady Dolgoruky, an awkward, illegitimate 20-year-old in search of his family. He tries to escape the bruising experience of his 'accidental' birth and become legitimately a member of a family, even though that family is equally 'accidental' and indeed mirrors the growing illegitimacy of Russian society as a whole.

A troubled young man commits the perfect crime - the murder of a vile pawnbroker whom no one will miss. Raskolnikov is desperate for money, but convinces himself that his motive for the murder is to benefit mankind. So begins one of the greatest novels ever written, a journey into the criminal mind, a police thriller, and a philosophical meditation on morality and redemption.

‘The Grand Inquisitor’ is a short story that appears in one of Dostoevsky’s most famous works, ‘The Brothers Karamazov’, but it is often read independently due to its standalone story and literary significance. In the tale, Jesus comes to Seville during the Spanish Inquisition and performs miracles but is soon arrested and sentenced to be burned. The Grand Inquisitor informs Jesus that the church no longer needs him as they are stronger under the direction of Satan. ‘The Grand Inquisitor’ is incredibly interesting and compelling for its philosophical discussion about religion and the human condition. The main debate put forth in the poem is whether freedom or security is more important to mankind, as an all-powerful church can provide safety but requires its followers to abandon their free will. This tale remains remarkably influential among philosophers, political thinkers, and novelists from Friedrich Nietzsche and Noam Chomsky to David Foster Wallace and beyond. Dostoevsky’s writing is both inventive and provocative in this timeless story as the reader is free to come to their own conclusions. ‘The Grand Inquisitor’ should be read by anyone interested in philosophy or politics. Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a famous Russian writer of novels, short stories, and essays. A connoisseur of the troubled human psyche and the relationships between the individuals, Dostoevsky’s oeuvre covers a large area of subjects: politics, religion, social issues, philosophy, and the uncharted realms of the psychological. He is most famous for the novels ‘Crime and Punishment’, ‘The Idiot’, and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’. James Joyce described Dostoevsky as the creator of ‘modern prose’ and his literary legacy is influential to this day as Dostoevsky’s work has been adapted for many movies including ‘The Double’ starring Jesse Eisenberg.

Dostoevsky’s towering reputation as one of the handful of thinkers who forged the modern sensibility has sometimes obscured the purely novelistic virtues–brilliant characterizations, flair for suspense and melodrama, instinctive theatricality–that made his work so immensely popular in nineteenth-century Russia. The Brothers Karamazov , his last and greatest novel, published just before his death in 1881, chronicles the bitter love-hate struggle between the outsized Fyodor Karamazov and his three very different sons. It is above all the story of a murder, told with hair-raising intellectual clarity and a feeling for the human condition unsurpassed in world literature.
This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky–the definitive version in English–magnificently captures the rich and subtle energies of Dostoevsky’s masterpiece.

In this dark and compelling short novel, Dostoevsky tells the story of Alexey Ivanovitch, a young tutor working in the household of an imperious Russian general. Alexey tries to break through the wall of the established order in Russia, but instead becomes mired in the endless downward spiral of betting and loss. His intense and inescapable addiction is accentuated by his affair with the General’s cruel yet seductively adept niece, Polina. In The Gambler , Dostoevsky reaches the heights of drama with this stunning psychological portrait.

Under the same roof in the same flat on the same fourth storey lived two young men, colleagues in the service, Arkady Ivanovitch Nefedevitch and Vasya Shumkov.... The author of course, feels the necessity of explaining to the reader why one is given his full title, while the other's name is abbreviated, if only that such a mode of expression may not be regarded as unseemly and rather familiar. But, to do so, it would first be necessary to explain and describe the rank and years and calling and duty in the service, and even, indeed, the characters of the persons concerned; and since there are so many writers who begin in that way, the author of the proposed story, solely in order to be unlike them (that is, some people will perhaps say, entirely on account of his boundless vanity), decides to begin straightaway with action. Having completed this introduction, he begins.

‘It is best to do nothing! The best thing is conscious inertia! So long live the underground!’Alienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevsky’s groundbreaking Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter sarcasm, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the ‘ant-hill’ of society and his gradual withdrawal to an existence ‘underground’. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who exactly resembles him – his double perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly study of human consciousness.Jessie Coulson’s introduction discusses the stories’ critical reception and the themes they share with Dostoyevksy’s great novels.

Boken tillkom när Dostojevskij var 48 år och lyckligt gift med sin andra hustru Anna Grigorjevna. De levde sedan en tid på resande fot i Europa, för tillfället hade de slagit sig ner i Dresden. Dottern Ljubov var nyfödd, hon som senare skulle bli känd under namnet Aimée. Ekonomiskt sett var situationen bister, bland annat på grund av Dostojevskijs spelbesatthet. Hade de pengar spelade han strax bort dem på roulett. Romanen Idioten hade kommit ut samma år, arvodet var redan förbrukat. Men känslomässigt var situationen ändå god, makarna älskade varandra innerligt och den nyblivne faderns glädje över den lilla dottern var gränslös.

Under denna förhållandevis lyckliga tid skrev Dostojevskij romanen Den evige äkta mannen - som anses vara ett av hans mest formfulländade verk. Flera kritiker och litteraturforskare har pekat på den närmast klassiska berättarformen som på ett avgörande sätt skiljer sig från hans tidigare arbeten, inte minst den nyligen avslutade smått kaotiska Idioten.

Romanens huvudperson Veltjaninov har dragit sig tillbaka från sitt tidigare vidlyftiga umgängesliv men då och då rör han sig i vimlet i Sankt Petersburg och upptäcker att han allt oftare stöter samman med ett ansikte han inte riktigt kan placera, en mystisk man som nästan verkar förfölja honom - Dostojevskij berättar på sitt mästerliga vis om hur dessa båda kontrahenter genom ödets krafter förs allt närmare varandra.

Den mystiske mannen visar sig vara Pavel Pavlovitj, en stackare som Veltjaninov i högsta grad haft att göra med tidigare. Det är Pavlovitj som är "den evige äkta mannen" - nämligen en stackars krake som verkar vara närmast predestinerad att bli bedragen av varje kvinna han gifter sig med. Han är inte biologisk far till sin dotter Liza, vilket är en smärta och en smälek för honom. Ändå är det hos Lizas verklige far, nämligen Veltjaninov som han söker stöd när han är i knipa...

Berättelsen är i sin - för Dostojevskij så typiska - stora människokännedom både tragisk och komisk, både absurd och realistisk. Den rankas som en av den store mästarens mest fascinerande romaner. Boken ingår i Bakhålls vit av Dostojevskijromaner i nyöversättning av Bengt Samuelson.

Fjodor Dostojevskijs oerhört intensiva berättelse Anteckningar från underjorden i nyöversättning och med efterord av Bengt Samuelson.

Detta är ett av Dostojevskijs mest omtalade verk. Huvudpersonen är en fyrtioårig man som inte kan förlika sig med att världen omkring honom är förljugen och idiotisk. Det mesta retar gallfeber på honom. Han är en outsider, en obekväm enstöring på sin arbetsplats, han är den som inte står ut med att se alla dessa översittare spatsera på gatan. Särskilt en officer som skramlar med sin sabel väcker hans oförblommerade ilska. Till slut får han nog.

I porträttet av denne tvärvigg, denne besvärlige särling, denne man med orimligt höga anspråk på allt och alla har Dostojevskij gestaltat både konstens och samhällets eviga och mest olösliga problem - detta att de vackra idealen i själva verket är ouppnåeliga, att allt istället handlar om att hitta en acceptabel roll i det bristfyllda, hitta ett godtagbart sätt att ta sig helskinnad igenom vardagen.

Dostojevskij varken skönmålar livet eller fördystrar det. Dostojevskijs blick är klar.I hans molande mörker finns alltid en strimma av ljus, en strimma som är skir och tunn men så klar att den rentav bländar...

I prostituerade Lisa ser huvudpersonen en frände:

"Människor dricker ju av förtvivlan: och jag har kommit hit av samma orsak - av förtvivlan. Tala då om för mig vad poängen är med detta? Du och jag var tillsammans alldeles nyss, och under hela tiden sa vi inte ett ord till varandra, och inte förrän efteråt började du studera mig ingående som om du varit mindre vetande, och jag gjorde detsamma med dig. Är detta verkligen kärlek? Är det på det viset två människor ska komma samman? Det är vidrigt, varken mer eller mindre!

- Ja! instämde hon hastigt i vass ton.

Jag blev förvånad över detta hastiga Ja. Kunde det betyda att samma tanke hade kretsat i hennes huvud alldeles nyss när hon betraktade mig? Kunde hon rentav äga en egen tankeförmåga? 'Herregud, det var inte illa, då finns här kanske någonting som förenar oss', tänkte jag."
