The Dostoevsky Guide
A Listmania! list by Volin (Sutton Coldfield, UK)

1. Crime And Punishment: A Novel in Six Parts with Epilogue (Vintage Classics) by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"His most famous work but not his best. Note the translators: Pevear and Volokhonsky. They are widely regarded as Dostoevsky's most accurate translators and won an award for this particular translation"

2. The Brothers Karamazov (Everyman's Library classics) by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"His masterpiece. The chapters 'Mutiny' and 'The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor' have gone down in literary history but don't just focus on those two chapters: the rest is also brilliant"

�9.87 Used & New from: �5.80

3. Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"A furious polemic against Rationality and an incredible insight into the psyche of a misanthrope, although you should read it with Chernyshevsky's work 'What is to be Done?' to understand the parody"

4. The Idiot (Everyman's Library Classics) by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"I don't really like Myshkin but I do think the character of Nastasya Fillipovna is one of the most beautiful in Dostoevsky's oeuvre. Ragozhin is also the most terrifying Dostoevsky villian."

5. Demons: A Novel in Three Parts by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"Probably the darkest of all of Dostoevsky's works (which is saying something). Make sure to read the appendix in its proper position in the narrative: Stavrogin makes much more sense as a character"

6. "The Eternal Husband" and Other Stories by F. M. Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"Some of his best short stories in a splendidly small compendium: Dostoevsky is primarily remembered as a novelist but his talent for short stories deserves near equal credit"

7. The Adolescent (Vintage Classics) by F.M. Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"Probably Dostoevsky's weakest mature work but I think critics have been unfair to it in some respects: the central character carries on some of the finest tradtiions of the Underground Man."

8. Poor Folk (Dover Thrift Editions) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The list author says:
	"Dostoevsky's first book. I think it is the best book from his early period but be aware that many of the themes in his later books for which he is famous are not yet present here. Too sentimental."

9. The Insulted and Injured by F. M. Dostoevsky

The list author says:
	"In my opinion, his worst novel. Indulges in absolutely meaningless sentimentality to such a level of excess that one nearly feels sick."

10. Winter Notes on Summer Impressions by Gary Saul Morson

The list author says:
	"Just to remind us that the man behind the novels was a xenophobic Russian nationalist and Orthodox Christian zealot. For more on that, read Writer's Diary"

11. Dostoevsky: The Seeds of Revolt, 1821-1849 by Joseph Frank

18. Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics (Theory & History of Literature) by M. M. Bakhtin
