A stunning new edition featuring fresh translations of six of this classic Russian writer's most thrilling short stories in a beautiful Pushkin Collection edition.
This vivid collection of new translations by Nicolas Pasternak Slater and Maya Slater illuminates Dostoevsky's dazzling versatility as a writer.

- An arrogant but well-intentioned gentleman provokes an uproar at an aide's wedding, and in the marital bed.
- A young boy finds unexpected salvation on a cold and desolate Christmas Eve.
