Notes from Underground and Other Stories is a comprehensive collection of Dostoevsky's short fiction. Many of these stories, like his great novels, reveal his special sympathy for the solitary and dispossessed, explore the same complex psychological issues and subtly combine rich characterization and philosophical mediations on the (often) dark areas of human psyche, all conveyed in an idiosyncratic blend of deadly seriousness and wild humour. In Notes from Underground, the Underground Man casually dismantles utilitarianism and celebrates in its stead a preserve but vibrant masochism. A Christmas Tree and a Wedding recounts the successful pursuit of a young girl by a lecherous old man. In Bobok, one Ivan Ivanovitch listens in a corpses gossiping in a cemetery; and ends up deploring their depravity. In a Gentle Spirit, the narrator describes his dawning recognition that he is responsible for his wife's suicide. In short as a commentator on spirirual stagnantion. Dostoevsky has no equal.
