a few of these stand out
A must-read for Dostoyevsky fans.
Four very good minor works A Weak Heart isset around New Year's Day in St. Petersburg and deals with a clerk namedVasya who has recently become engaged and, conflicted between his ecstasyover his engagement and the pressure he feels due to an impending deadline,drifts into madness.Vasya is somewhat typical of a major type ofcharacter from Dostoevsky's early period, namely that of the"dreamer" who has difficulty handling relationships with theoutside world, and we also see in A Weak Heart Dostoevsky's interest inmadness, which he illustrated at about the same time in The Double.Ifyou've read and liked The Double (and perhaps also Poor Folk) you'llprobably enjoy A Weak Heart (and vice versa), but I'd have to say TheDouble is a better-developed work than this one. White Nights alsobears clear stamps of Dostoevsky's early period.It chronicles four nightsin which the nameless narrator meets a girl named Nastenka and falls inlove with her.Both the narrator and Nastenka are extremely sociallyisolated--Nastenka because of her overprotective grandmother and thenarrator because of his preference for a dream world.Early on, I foundthe narrator's discussion of his dreams to drag a little bit (thoughNastenka was apparenly quite moved by it) but after that point White Nightswas an extremely touching story and was probably Dostoevsky's bestexposition of his "dreamer" type. Dostoevsky conceived thecomic novella Uncle's Dream during the compulsory military service thatfollowed his Siberian imprisonment, and by this time he had shed much ofhis earlier style.This particular work seems a bit unpopular with thecritics--translator David McDuff states in the introduction that TheVillage of Stepanchikovo, of which Dostoevsky originally planned to makeUncle's Dream a part, was a much better piece--but I found Uncle's Dream tobe very entertaining.The "Uncle" of the title is Prince K., asenile member of the high nobility to whom socialite Marya Moskaleva wishesto marry her daughter Zina, expecting that he will promptly die, leavingZina a grand inheritance and the freedom to remarry whomever she wisheswhile still living well.Marya wines and dines the Prince and has littledifficulty in getting him to propose to Zina, but Mozglyakov, another ofZina's suitors and a distant relative of the Prince, convinces him that hisproposal to Zina was nothing but a dream, and hilarity ensues.The novellais a very funny parody of provincial manners, and both Marya and the Princeare amusing caricatures.Granted, this isn't exactly high art, and it's avery good thing that Dostoevsky didn't stick to comedy for his wholecareer, but this particular piece works quite well and is an enjoyablechange of pace from Dostoevsky's more serious novels. The Meek Girl,which Dostoevsky published in his serialized Diary of a Writer, is anexperimental work which attempts to capture the thoughts of a husband hoursafter his wife kills herself by jumping out a window.As he does quiteoften throughout his oeuvre, Dostoevsky shows his talent for psychologyextremely well in this story; if I didn't know anything about the storybefore reading it I would have been sure it was written in the 20thcentury.The one vague problem that I had with the work is that the wife'smotivations throughout the events discussed barely come through, but that'snot really a fair criticism: this is meant to be a portrait of thehusband's still-unorganized thoughts, and in fact if he had understood hiswife's motivations well enough to narrate them to us, she probably wouldn'thave killed herself.In all of Dostoevsky's work I really can't think ofsuch a fine portrayal of despair as this one. If you've read this far,you're probably a fan Dostoevsky's work, in which case I would definitelyrecommend this collection.Though his more famous novels deserve theirpraise, these works contain a wide variety of the attributes that madeDostoevsky such a great writer, and probably deserve more attention thanthey get. ...
