| 1. |  | The Brothers Karamazov from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $12.24 Customer Review:  Anyone interested in the central question facing mankind will find `The Brothers Karamazov' an essential guide. That question--on man's capacity for responsibility and the proper role of the state and religion--is posed throughout the story in dialogue and events, and is framed neatly in a 20-page... |

| 2. |  | Crime & Punishment from Easton Press Customer Review: It's seldom that I root for the evildoer of a novel or movie, but Dostoyevsky definitely had me doing it with "Crime and Punishment". Early in the novel, impoverished student Raskolnikov murders two innocent older women in order to make a quick buck (and also for deeper reasons revealed later in the... |

| 3. |  | Notes from Underground from Waking Lion Press Price: $9.56 Customer Review:  There are two parts to these 'Notes'; the first (shorter) part is a philosophical diatribe which most interesting discussions revolve around the Underground man's challange to 'rational egoism' and defense of free will. The second part is a biographical account of the Underground man's relations... |

| 4. |  | Crime and Punishment from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: When I first opened this book I was afraid, afraid because of how big a classic it is, because I'd never read Dostoevsky before and because there was the faint possibility of me not liking it. All my trepidation was unjustified, on this wonderfully conceived masterpiece, Dostoevsky shows how... |

| 5. |  | The Idiot from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Many critics have oddly tried to cast The Idiot as a thinly veiled autobiographical piece due to the fact that Dostoevsky, himself, suffered from epilepsy, but how this fact- that Myshkin is Dostoevsky- even were it true, helps the books be understood better, is never clarified. Another of the... |

| 8. |  | Demons (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $12.24 Customer Review: Although the reading is difficult at times, if you can think past that you realize there are some profound psychological and philosophical issues being discussed. For me languages do not get any harder than Russian. As you might surmise from the title this is about a crime (murder). This allows the... |

| 9. |  | The Idiot (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Dostoevsky's, "THE IDIOT" Very few of the reviews, herein contained, speak to, or address, the real subject to which Dostoevsky is clearly explaining. I have not read them all, but many reviews actually address specific aspects of the book, taking the story, as written, literally, considering... |

| 10. |  | The Adolescent from Vintage Price: $11.53 Customer Review: If you asked someone to name Dostoevsky's major works of fiction they would probably give you the following list--Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, Notes From Underground, The Idiot, Devils. To all but the most informed The Adolescent would not be named. This should not be the case. The... |

| 11. |  | The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky (Modern Library) from Modern Library Price: $9.60 Customer Review: If you love dostoevsky then this is the book for you. You can enjoy some of the best russian literature without diving into a thick copy of The Brothers Karamarzov or Anna Karenina-you can start small with these little stories. And, if you need a copy of Notes from the Underground anyway, why not... |

| 12. |  | Crime and Punishment (Classic Collection (Blackstone Audio)) from Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc. Price: $34.16 Customer Review: After purchasing this book, I read some literary criticisms that say this translation "overprettifies" the original text. A better bet would be Crime and Punishment as translated by McDuff. Also, I found typos and incorrect punctuation more than a few times in the book- it can be really distracting... |

| 13. |  | Crime and Punishment (Norton Critical Editions) from W. W. Norton Price: $14.06 Customer Review: Here I am not going to be quite so bold nor so presumptuous as to think that I have anything new or innovative to say about one of the greatest books ever written, and one of the most critically read and commented on books ever written. I will say that I love this book and all of Dostoevsky's books,... |

| 14. |  | The House of the Dead (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $3.50 Customer Review: Dostoyevsky wrote from his heart and mostly, his suffering. The House of the Dead, for me, was a difficult read. The Siberian labour camps of the 19th century reveals suffering and cruelty in its true, ugly form. Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov, narrates his experience in detail and... |

| 16. |  | Great Short Works of Fyodor Dostoevsky (Perennial Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.65 Customer Review: This is a wonderful book for anyone just entering into Russian literature (or someone who has yet to gain a passion for reading). Dostoevsky is very poignant and clearly articulates the feelings humans go through, including the inner turmoil associated with daily life... Great night time reading. |

| 17. |  | Crime and Punishment (Vintage Classics) from Random House UK Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I just purchased and received this product from Amazon and am not quite certain it is the edition as listed here. The one I received clearly indicates being published in 2007 and there is no indication of it being the NEW edition (July1, 2008) noted in the description. Given the date, this would... |

| 18. |  | The Double and The Gambler from Vintage Price: $10.20 Customer Review: this product is designed for many reasons, but most likely (once the "Code" is broken) it, The Gambler, represents an almost blow-by-blow account of the fierce struggle Fyodor Dostoevsky waged to overcome this hidden sickness. |

| 19. |  | The Eternal Husband and Other Stories from Bantam Classics Price: $5.99 Customer Review: This is a fabulous collection. "The Eternal Husband" is quite interesting and features the trademark Doestoevsian psychological interplay (along the lines of that found between _Crime and Punishment_'s Raskolnikov and Porfiry Petrovich, or _The Idiot_'s Rogozhin and Prince Nikolaevich). However, the... |

| 20. |  | Great Russian Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $3.50 Customer Review: 'Dover Editions' do not provide the frills. We do not get a real introduction to the stories, to the Russian story in particular. We do not get notes on the stories. And we do not even get the names of the translators. But we do get some of the finest of all Russian stories. These include... |

| 21. |  | Devils (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $10.16 Customer Review: I am a very amateurish reviewer of Dostoevskey, but let me humbly suggest that you begin with "Crime and Punishment" or "Notes from Underground" before approaching this novel. "Devils" is a study of nihilism, but it is very demanding of the reader. I get the impression that "Devils" provides some... |

| 24. |  | The Idiot (Bantam Classic) from Bantam Classics Price: $6.95 Customer Review:  Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot is a difficulty book for the ordinary person, not versed in Russian history or culture, to appreciate. That is so for several reasons. Much like Eliot's Middlemarch, Dostoevsky is interested in examining Russian culture at a particular time in history, namely Russia in... |

| 26. |  | The Possessed (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Barnes & Noble Classics Price: $9.95 Customer Review: The Possessed or The Devils by Fyodor Dostoevsky This novel is one greatest works of literature. Dostoyevsky is the kind of writer who deeply explores the human psyche. |

| 27. |  | Poor Folk from Wildside Press Price: $11.65 Customer Review: Dostoevsky has a unique approach in this novel--it is comprised entirely of letters between two characters and diary entries from one of these characters. This gives the novel a fresh style and a natural flow. The true strength of the work, however, is its dealing with the nature and impact of... |

| 28. |  | The Double and The Gambler (Everyman's Library) from Everyman's Library Price: $13.60 Customer Review: The perfect little companion piece to two of Dostevsky's several short stories, and two of his best if not THE best might I add. I have read both these stories before but translated by different authors in the Great Short Works compilation by Perennial classics. Before I go on to mention about... |

The character was quite repetitive and spoke in a sophisticated manner. The way that it was described in... |
