Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) defined his main literary task in his youth: "Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don't say that you've wasted your time; I am occupied with this mystery, for I want to be a man." Following his principle, the writer created a multitude of multifaceted characters and complex plots, which researchers are still struggling to analyze to this day. His novellas have it all: mysterious love triangles, unhappy marriages and deep-seated malice, stormy confrontations and the dreaminess of desperate romantics, self-sacrifice and despotism.
The book includes the novellas "The Landlady," "Netochka Nezvanova," "White Nights: A Sentimental Novel," and "A Gentle Creature" (1876).
