The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Unabridged)

Dostoevsky is primarily known for his monumental works like
Crime and Punishment and
The Brothers Karamazov. However, he also wrote many excellent shorter works that embody the same exploration of human psychology on a smaller scale.

The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is one of his best short pieces. No less a writer than Virginia Woolf says of Dostoevsky, "Out of Shakespeare there is no more exciting reading."
