VIZETELLY'S RUSSIAN NOVELS.Uncle's Dream;ANDThe Permanent Husband.CELEBRATED RUSSIAN NOVELSBy FEDOR DOSTOIEFFSKY.Translated from the original Russian by Fred. Whishaw.“There are three Russian novelists who, though, with one exception, little known out of their own country, stand head and shoulders above most of their contemporaries. In the opinion of some not indifferent critics, they are superior to all other novelists of this generation. Two of them, Dostoieffsky and Turgenieff, died not long ago; the third, Lyof Tolstoi, still lives. The one with the most marked individuality of character, probably the most highly gifted, was unquestionably Dostoieffsky.”—Spectator.In crown 8vo. containing nearly 500 pages, price 6s.THE IDIOT.“Is unquestionably a work of great power and originality. M. Dostoieffsky crowds his canvas with living organisms, depicted with extreme vividness.”—Scotsman.In crown 8vo, price 5s.THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY;ANDTHE GAMBLER.“Dostoieffsky is one of the keenest observers of humanity amongst modern novelists. Both stories are very valuable as pictures of a society and a people with whom we are imperfectly acquainted, but who deserve the closest scrutiny.”—Public Opinion.Third edition. In crown 8vo, with Portrait and Memoir, price 5s.INJURY AND INSULT.“That‘Injury and Insult’is a powerful novel few will deny. Vania is a marvellous character. Once read, the book can never be forgotten.”—St. Stephen's Review.“A masterpiece of fiction. The author has treated with consummate tact the difficult character of Natasha,‘the incarnation of the slave of passion.’She lives and breathes in these vivid pages, and the reader is drawn into the vortex of her anguish, and rejoices when she breaks free from her chain.”—Morning Post.Third edition. In crown 8vo, 450 pages, price 6s.CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.“Dostoieffsky is one of the most remarkable of modern writers, and his book,‘Crime and Punishment’is one of the most moving of modern novels. It is the story of a murder and of the punishment which dogs the murderer; and its effect is unique in fiction. It is realism, but such realism as M. Zola and his followers do not dream of. The reader knows the personages—strange grotesque, terrible personages they are—more intimately than if he had been years with them in the flesh. He is constrained to live their lives, to suffer their tortures, to scheme and resist with them, exult with them, weep and laugh and despair with them; he breathes the very breath of their nostrils, and with the madness that comes upon them he is afflicted even as they. This sounds extravagant praise, no doubt; but only to those who have not read the volume. To those who have, we are sure that it will appear rather under the mark than otherwise.”—The Athenæum.VIZETELLY'S RUSSIAN NOVELS.Uncle's Dream;ANDThe Permanent Husband.By FEDOR DOSTOIEFFSKY,AUTHOR OF“CRIME AND PUNISHMENT,”“INJURY AND INSULT,”“THE IDIOT,”“THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY; AND THE GAMBLER.”TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN BY FREDERICK WHISHAW.LONDON:VIZETELLY & CO., 16, HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN.1888.
