CELEBRATED RUSSIAN NOVELS
By FEDOR DOSTOIEFFSKY.
_Translated from the original Russian by Fred. Whishaw._
“There are three Russian novelists who, though, with one
exception, little known out of their own country, stand head and
shoulders above most of their contemporaries. In the opinion of
some not indifferent critics, they are superior to all other
novelists of this generation. Two of them, Dostoieffsky and
Turgenieff, died not long ago; the third, Lyof Tolstoi, still
lives. The one with the most marked individuality of character,
probably the most highly gifted, was unquestionably
Dostoieffsky.”—_Spectator._
_In crown 8vo. containing nearly 500 pages, price 6s._
THE IDIOT.
“Is unquestionably a work of great power and originality. M.
Dostoieffsky crowds his canvas with living organisms, depicted
with extreme vividness.”—_Scotsman._
_In crown 8vo, price 5s._
THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY; AND THE GAMBLER.
“Dostoieffsky is one of the keenest observers of humanity amongst
modern novelists. Both stories are very valuable as pictures of a
society and a people with whom we are imperfectly acquainted, but
who deserve the closest scrutiny.”—_Public Opinion._
_Third edition. In crown 8vo, with Portrait and Memoir, price 5s._
INJURY AND INSULT.
“That ‘Injury and Insult’ is a powerful novel few will deny. Vania
is a marvellous character. Once read, the book can never be
forgotten.”—_St. Stephen’s Review._
“A masterpiece of fiction. The author has treated with consummate
tact the difficult character of Natasha, ‘the incarnation of the
slave of passion.’ She lives and breathes in these vivid pages,
and the reader is drawn into the vortex of her anguish, and
rejoices when she breaks free from her chain.”—_Morning Post._
_Third edition. In crown 8vo, 450 pages, price 6s._
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
