Uncle's Dream

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) — the great Russian writer, one of the highest embodiments of the spiritual and moral values of Russian culture; corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences (1877).

Dostoevsky’s work, as a great writer and psychologist, studies and depicts the hidden corners of the human soul. It tries to reveal the intentions and motives behind human behavior in unusual and often indecent situations. Meanness and nobility, baseness and honor always walk side by side, and their opposition determines our lives.

The book includes the novella by F.M. Dostoevsky written by him in 1859—“Uncle’s Dream,” created on the basis of the Semipalatinsk period of the writer’s life.

Annotation: A novella about how one caring mother tried to marry her daughter off profitably to an old prince—how the groom was delighted—and чем all of this ended.
