Description

It happened that a high-ranking official, Pralinsky, ended up at the wedding of his subordinate Pseudonymov. Wanting to demonstrate the breadth of his views, Pralinsky sees misunderstanding of his motives—and, to some extent, he also runs into insults from the guests who came to the wedding. With the skill Dostoevsky is known for—showing the essence of characters and everyday life—he reveals the images of the people at the wedding and the official with sarcasm. He shows the full depth of the psychology of that time, which, let’s be honest, isn’t very different from today’s.
