Reviews

[Dave]

Two novellas written 11 years apart. Both are delicious parodies of pompous upper-crust society. The second story has a truly tragic character, the daughter.

too much Dostoevsky is killing you. how he makes character from the image of angels who’s kind, generous, noble, capable of self sacrifice. and look here I am just scoundrel. and how long the way that I have to take to be one of noble character in his story. oh gosh, you ask too much from human, sir. we have blood of evil, we selfish—or maybe just me—who doesn’t care with human suffering. yeah but well I will try to make that goal for myself even I knew that goal maybe never be attain.

[Sebastião]

Dostoyevsky's writing is highly colourful and theatrical. The stories were not so interesting themselves but their context as well as the rhythm of the writing compel me to read it until the end.

4 star for Uncle's Dream and 3 star for The Permanent Husband.

**Review only for the permanent husband**

most wicked revenge story I've read. With ageism, child marriage, betrayals and homoeroticism

[Mr Shahabi]

Surprisingly, a Fyodor Dostoyevsky book that I did not enjoy, that's a first.
