Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarded as one of world literature's foremost novelists, Fyodor Dostoevsky's short stories are also some of the best ever written. 'White Nights' tells of love and loss on the streets of St. Petersburg, 'A Nasty Business' presents the hilarious tale of a general dropping in on the wedding of a subordinate, while 'The Meek One' is an existentialist tale of marriage and tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was born in Moscow in 1821. His debut, the epistolary novella \u003ci\u003ePoor Folk \u003c\/i\u003e(1846), made his name. In 1849 he was arrested for involvement with the politically subversive 'Petrashevsky circle' and until 1854 he lived in a convict prison in Omsk, Siberia. From this experience came \u003ci\u003eThe House of the Dead \u003c\/i\u003e(1860-2). In 1860 he began the journal \u003ci\u003eVremya\u003c\/i\u003e (Time). Already married, he fell in love with one of his contributors, Appollinaria Suslova, eighteen years his junior, and developed a ruinous passion for roulette. After the death of his first wife, Maria, in 1864, Dostoyevsky completed \u003ci\u003eNotes from Underground\u003c\/i\u003e and began work towards \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e (1866). The major novels of his late period are \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot\u003c\/i\u003e (1868), \u003ci\u003eDemons \u003c\/i\u003e(1871-2) and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e (1879-80). He died in 1881.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Hardcover), Englisch, 240 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65799754023261,"sku":"K096140729","price":13.8,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/9614072900001A.jpg?v=1788436193","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/white-nights-fjodor-m-dostojewskij-9780241619780","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
