Polzunkov

Anotace

Though he is best known for his realist and deep realistic and psychological novels, Dostoevsky's literary life produced memorable short stories as well. "Polzunkov" is a story that should not be skipped by the author's fans and the connoisseurs of short story writing in general. It is a tale about a joke that misfired on the protagonist Polzunkov, whose expectations crash down headlong in the end. Another narrative that explores the theme of financial difficulties and misunderstood actions that inevitably lead to terrible outcomes.
